Computing Services has both Digital Cameras and Digital Video Cameras available for loan to students.  You can also borrow a tripod and/or a firewire card and cable for capturing video to your laptop.  Contact the Computing Services department to reserve equipment.  Be sure to specify when you need the equipment and for how long.
 

Laptops are not available for loan to students.  If you are having difficulties with your laptop, bring it to the Laptop Support team in the Kresge Library.
 

Many hotels around the world offer a variety of internet/network connection options.  Contact the hotel you will be staying at and ask them what type of connection they offer.  Email that information to Computing Services so can assist you with any adaptors, cards or cables you may need.

If you are traveling to a location with Ethernet and/or Wireless access, you may need to configure the card driver according to the specifications of your host environment.  To avoid conflict with Business School settings, you may want to set up a second profile for your host's network.  Ethernet settings are rarely an issue since they are typically broadcast and received automatically.  However, wireless setup sometimes requires specific configuration information.  Our laptop support team can assist you if you have the settings in advance, otherwise you will need to obtain the assistance of your host's IT staff once you arrive. 
 

If you will be needing Internet access during your travels, many hotels and motels now offer free or low cost Internet access to guests. Internet access is also widely available in coffee shops, bookstores, and other public establishments.

Some Internet Service Providers include 800 or local numbers for subscribers to use while they are traveling, so you should find out if this option is available to you if you choose an ISP for personal connectivity.
 

Power and telephone adaptors for many different countries are available for loan.  Email Computing Services with the country and travel dates.
