Policies
Equipment borrowing privileges may be revoked or suspended based on violations of policies at the discretion of Library Administration. The Academic Continuity Task Force has provided the following parameters for UCLA Library technology lending.
- Wifi hotspots are available to students who do not have campus housing
- International shipping for borrowed devices is not available.
- Instructors are encouraged to request equipment from their department or visit https://keepteaching.ucla.edu. If a department is unable to provide equipment, then instructors may borrow equipment from the Library. All equipment, including wifi hotspots, will be available while supplies last.
- Staff are currently not eligible for instruction-related equipment lending and should contact their departments or visit Information Technology Services; supplies permitting, some short-term loans for equipment may be available.
- “Bulk borrowing” where a staff person submits a list of instructors for borrowing devices will not be possible. Instructors may designate a proxy to pick up multiple devices but the online requests must be made individually with both the proxy and the instructors’ emails. Departments may submit requests on behalf of instructors or TAs but there must be an online request form created for each instructor to ensure that the instructor is aware of the device being loaned in their name.

Returns & Fees
Arrangements will be made for the safe return of equipment and due dates will be adjusted to ensure safe returns. CLICC will communicate with the borrower and schedule drop-off returns. Shipping may be available for those who cannot drop-off the equipment. If a CLICC laptop or other equipment is not returned, fees may be charged:
- After 24 hours from overdue, an Item Replacement Fee and a $43 flat processing fee will be charged
- For short-term loans $0.20 per minute after a laptop or any equipment is late—late fees will not be assessed for long-term loans.
- PLEASE NOTE: During remote instruction, only processing and replacement fees will continue to be implemented.
- Users are also responsible for any items that have been tampered with in any way or are missing.
- Laptop and equipment fees are billed to your BAR account and show up a few days after the item is considered overdue.
Stair Streets of L.A.
Los Angeles was once a city connected by public transportation in the form of trolleys, buses and trains. During this time staircases in L.A were used as modes of crossings and connections for pedestrians across the city. Nowadays, the remaining stairs around the city are used as killer workout alternatives to gyms.
Many L.A. staircases serve as a historical reminder to a time when Los Angeles wasn’t known as a city of cars, congestion and smog. Some are just little nooks that offer a unique viewpoint of our city.

Most people associate stairs with function. For example, many staircases in Echo Park were built to assist Angelenos from Red Car stops to uphill homes. - default
