Borrowing from the CalWomenTech Library is free for CalWomenTech Sites only. Items that are available are listed with a “CWT Bucks” price. This amount is deducted from the college’s yearly CalWomenTech Bucks account at the time of the loan. Each college will have a yearly CalWomenTech Bucks budget of approximately $500 annually for the next four years. The average cost of items in the store is about $30. Since the purpose of the library is to preview items, only one copy of the same permanent loan item may be requested.

There is no maximum to the number of items that may be checked out at one time. Students are not allowed to remove the library items from the designated CalWomenTech Library site. Faculty may borrow items and remove them from the Library premise. All library materials must be returned to the CalWomenTech Library Key Contact on campus within a time set by the CalWomenTech Library Key Contact at that school. The on-campus CalWomenTech Library Key Contact must approve all loan requests before the loan is sent out.

If an item requested is checked out, you can place a hold on it by emailing library at iwitts.com with the title of the item you want. This will make you the next borrower and the item will be sent to you when it is returned to the CalWomenTech Library.

Renewals are allowed one time for Library materials that do not have a hold placed on them. (A “hold" means another Library user has requested the item you have checked out.) To renew an item, simply request a renewal form from your Key Library Contact. All renewed items must be returned to the CalWomenTech Library at a time set by the CalWomenTech Library Key Contact at that school.

Any faculty or staff member or student in a technology-related program at a campus participating in the CalWomenTech Project is entitled to borrow from the Library for free. The student or faculty ID is also the CalWomenTech Library card. The borrower is responsible for all items checked out and must return them to the CalWomenTech Library Key Contact. It is the borrower's responsibility to know and honor due dates.

• The key library contact will receive items requested in 7 to 10 business days, with a maximum of two weeks delivery time.
  


• The order minimum is $25.
