Any currently enrolled Ozarks Tech student may borrow a hotspot or laptop. There is a limited supply and students may ask to be placed on the waitlist until a device becomes available.
- All devices must be borrowed from and returned at the Hamra Library Service Desk at the Springfield campus (IC-100) during regular operating hours.
- Borrowers will be expected to show a photo ID (OTC ID or driver license). If the patron is unable to be present due to circumstances such as hospitalization, or if they are otherwise unable to physically come to campus to check out materials, they may communicate with library staff to arrange for a proxy (e.g., partner, parent) to to pick up their materials and check out items on their behalf. The designated individual must present their own photo ID along with a written authorization from the patron named on the account. At this time, it is only possible to check out materials if the proxy can video call at the Service Desk with the patron off-campus.
- A student may borrow one laptop along with one wifi hotspot.
- Devices will be loaned for 14 days. If no other students are waiting at the end of the 14-day period, they may renew their loan for another 14 days by contacting the Hamra Library.
- If all devices are checked out, you can ask to be put on the waitlist via email, chat, phone or in-person in the Hamra Library.
- When your device is ready, you’ll get an email notification and will have 3 business days to pick it up.
- Failure to return EagleTech devices as agreed may result in holds on registration or transcripts, and/or a charge for replacement costs.
Please contact the Hamra Library staff at 417-447-8185 or libraryref@otc.edu with any questions or suggestions about the EagleTech program.
