RESERVATIONS

Should you need an adapter to connect to our system or a webcam you can borrow one through our self-checkout equipment reservation portal. Our support site contains checkout instructions for reserving equipment.

Our pick up location is at the Sherrill Library at 89 Brattle Street in Cambridge. When you come to our office to check out the equipment at the reception desk a team member can walk you through how to use the item with your computer. Please allot time to pick up your reservation in person as it cannot be delivered. If you are unable to pick up or drop off, someone may do so on your behalf.

Email it@lesley.edu or call 617.349.8770 with any questions.

Lesley University uses Blackboard Collaborate Ultra video conferencing for online learning. This can be helpful if you need to bring remote individuals to your presentation virtually.
