At the library we have self-service laptops available for loan for students from the green lapsafe lockers on level 1.
There are 2 styles:
- 4 hour loans (within the Library)
- Weekly (7 day loans) that can be used at home
Laptop loan terms and conditions

You will be liable for repair or replacement costs arising from any loss or damage to this Library property.
Reserving a laptop
You can reserve a laptop up to an hour before you come to the library so it is ready for collection on your arrival.
Go to https://plymouth-lib.onarken.com/my and log in with your UoP credentials.
Click on 'reserve an asset'
Click on the default location and choose the type of laptop you require, do not choose KSpa unless you are using the Cornwall Health Library. If there are no week loan laptops available at Plymouth, then they will be greyed out and you won't be able to reserve one at this time:
You will receive an email with the details of your reservation.
Please make sure you collect your item before the reserved time expires, or the item will be made available to others.
