Laptops
Laptop computers may be checked
out from the Circulation Desk of Chesnutt Library for use within the
LIBRARY ONLY. Only
current FSU students, faculty, and staff are eligible to check out
and use laptop computers. Laptops must be used directly by eligible
patrons. An eligible patron is only allowed to checkout one laptop
at a time. A valid FSU ID card and a second form of photo
identification must be presented upon checkout. The second form of
identification will be held at the Circulation Desk until the laptop
is returned and checked by library staff.
A laptop checkout agreement must be signed each time a laptop is
used. If you have any blocks or fines on your library record,
you will NOT be able to borrow a laptop until the restrictions are
cleared. Laptops are administered and maintained by the
Chesnutt Library Information Technology Department.
Textbooks
Textbooks are now available in
Chesnutt Library on Reserve at the Circulation Desk. Persons using
the collection need to know the
course prefix and
number (ex. ENGL 120). Persons must also have their FSU ID
Card to check the textbooks out. Textbooks are for use within the
Library and are checked out for two hours use.
Please note that textbooks can not be taken
out of the Library.
Photocopy Machines
Photocopy machines are available on the first floor of Chesnutt
Library and in the Curriculum Laboratory on the second floor of the
Library. They are operated by using either the Bronco Express Card
or the Bronco Express Copy Card. The cost is eight cents ($.08) per copy.
A Value Transfer Station (VTS) is located in the Library's Student
Lounge as you enter the Library on the
first floor.
The cost is one dollar ($1.00) per card, with $0.50 going to the
cost of the card and $0.50 available for copying. The machine
does not take coins, so it is important to bring bills with you.
There is no Change machine available in the Library. Once you
receive a card, it can be
reused.
To add money onto your card, select the option to "make a
deposit," and "get a receipt." Swipe your card. Place
money into the bill acceptor. When you are done, select
finished. A copy of your receipt should print showing the
amount of money you have just added to the card. If the
VTS machine in the Library is out of order, there is one available
in the Jones Student Center. If you experience any problems
with your Bronco Express Card, you may contact Mr. Anthony Watson at
910-672-1735, Jones Student Center, Room 231, during regular
business hours.

holdings information, availability, and information about materials
