Detailed Borrowing Procedure

Media is to be borrowed directly at lending locations.
When a student is borrowing on behalf of faculty or staff, the borrower must bring the following items and advanced e-mail notification is necessary. (Note: this option is only possible at the Academic Computing and Communications Center)

University of Tsukuba faculty or staff ID card
Loan Request form (completed examples: when you are borrowing; someone else is borrowing for you)
Commitment form (necessary for first-time borrowers only)

The "commitment" and "loan request" forms can be downloaded from this site and are also available at the lending locations.
A signed copy of the "loan request" form will be provided when the media is lent.
Install the software. Record the number of machines that the software was installed on in the “loan request” form and return with the media as soon as possible.
Sign the "media returned" portion of the original "loan request" form when returning the media.
A copy of the "loan request" form will be provided once you return the media.

Notes

Users may not reproduce or copy media.
Please be sure to return the media within the loan period because the next borrower will be affected.
Lending is available at office counters only, and in principle cannot be lent or returned through campus mail. However, you may request an exception when you are in a remote location.
You cannot borrow any media unless you agree to the terms outlined in the "commitment" form.
Students should not install software. However, if there are no other options, installation must be done under strict observation of faculty or staff, and media must be managed carefully.
- Take measures to prevent illegal copying.
- Be aware that faculty and staff who borrow media must take responsibility in the case of illegal use or distribution of media.
