Reservations
Media Lab computer workstations are available on a first-come, first serve basis. Reservations are not being taken at this time. When Media Lab workstations are full, there is no "waiting list."
Media Lab computer workstations must be "checked out" at the Media Resources Desk, using your current library-registered RebelCard ID. Please fill out a "Computer Pass" form. The check out period is 4 hours and may be renewed for an additional 4 hours.
Occasionally a workstation will be reserved for staff use; please be prepared to log off when asked to do so.
