Terms of Service
In line with our mission to provide reliable and user-friendly access to the world of information, the Loudoun Campus Library lends portable projectors to registered NOVACard users. Our primary goal in lending technology is to support the academic success of our students. These devices may only be used in the library group study rooms (LC 302D and LC 302F). As these projectors represent a significant investment by the Library and IT, all users are expected to maintain proper supervision and care of the equipment. Users must abide by the College’s Computer Use Agreement which covers peripheral devices.
