Equipment Checkout

The Meyer Tech Desk is also a library for equipment, available for loan using your SUID card. Our most popular items include miniDV camcorders, Mac laptops, portable projectors, external hard drives, and AV cables of all kinds.

  • All items at Meyer are due by 5PM of the next business day. Upon equipment check-in, the items will be taken off your record. Please check our Hours of Operation to learn when you can check equipment in and out.
  • You may check out multiple pieces of equipment for free, but only one unit of each kind of equipment, as others may be waiting to use the equipment also.
  • You may pre-pay to rent our equipment at a rate of $10/item/day if you need it for more than one day. Under this policy, you may also get multiple like-items for $10/item/day. (e.g. to check out 3 VGA cables overnight, you would pay $20 for the two additional cables.) This is already dramatically less expensive than renting the same equipment from many other providers.
  • If you need to renew items, the $10/day rate is in effect for each subsequent day that you request an extended rental of the equipment. Non-pre-paid renew requests must be completed in person, at which time you will have to pay for the renewal/rental.
  • You can look up Meyer library items you have checked out by going to http://catalog.stanford.edu and clicking the "My Account" button.
  • You will receive email notification when you keep our equipment beyond the due date. Patrons will be billed for overdue returns at a rate of $15/day and billed the full replacement cost for items never returned, enabling us to replace lost items and maintain a high level of service to you. Fines can be paid at Meyer or Green Library.
  • Holds and requests for interlibrary loans of our equipment are not honored. All items are first-come, first-served.
