Equipment checkout is available at the UWB-IT Helpdesk on the second floor of the library in LB2-218. Visit UWB-IT’s Get Help page for current hours. If you need to receive or return equipment and cannot make it to scheduled service hours, contact the helpdesk (uwbit@uw.edu), and we will work with you on a solution.
