iPad Checkout

USF students with a current USF Card (ID) may check out iPads to be used anywhere within the Library for a 5-hour period free of charge.

The iPads connect to the USF WiFi network and allow access to all Library e-resources.

To start using the iPad, users must agree to the terms of use. The iPad may leave the Library building. iPads have a $10-per-hour late fee, up to a $50 maximum.
