Unfortunately some of our students recently had their laptops stolen from the library, and there were also similar thefts last year. However, there are some simple steps you can follow to protect your laptop or mobile device, either using the services already included, or by downloading and installing free software. We also have some Kensington MicroSaver Cable Locks available to loan, which you can use to secure your laptop within the library.
