iPads

iPads can be checked out for use within the library for up to 3 hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. iPads must be returned by 5 pm.

On an iPad, you can read your email, surf the web, try out mobile versions of the library’s catalog and other resources; view a movie, play games for stress relief, work on a document with the PAGES app, or read books (we have free ones downloaded).

For questions or suggestions regarding the iPad loan program, please contact Michael Cabus, Systems Librarian, at cabusm@philau.edu.

Note: Faculty and staff can obtain longer-term (out-of-library) iPad loans through the Office of Information Resources. Contact the Help Desk at HelpDesk@philau.edu (x4OIT), or Lezley Galloway in Media Services (lower level of Gutman Library) at gallowayl@philau.edu (x6810) in Media Services.
