Equipment Booking: Adding Items to Your Cart

Adding Items to Your Cart

To book items from the equipment catalogue, you need to add them to your cart first. To do so:

  1. Choose either the Sudbury Campus or Thunder Bay Campus from the Book Equipment by Campus dropdown menu.
     
  2. The catalogue will display the entire inventory. You can simply scroll through the images until you locate the equipment you want or, 
    • Use the Category dropdown menu to filter the equipment.
    • Use the search box to search for a specific item.
       
  3. Once you've located the item you want to book, you can either:
    • Click on Availability to view when it is available.
    • Click on More details to go to the item record. Here you can view the item's description, instructions and availability.
       
  4. In the availability table, green cells indicate that the item is available. When you select a green cell, the corresponding date will serve as the start time for your booking.
    • Blank cells indicate the library is closed i.e. holiday, summer hours - and equipment cannot be booked on that date.
       
  5. Once a start date is selected, a panel will appear below. The booking will default to same day return. Select Change Return Date to choose your desired end date for the booking. Please note that for bookings exceeding 2 weeks, you must contact the library.
     
  6. If you want to book additional items, click Add to Cart and continue browsing the catalogue; Otherwise, click Add to Cart & Checkout.
    • Note: if you add additional items to your cart, they must have the same location and start time as the first item.
       
  7. To complete the booking, go to your cart and select Continue at the bottom of the page. You will be prompted to fill out your name, email address and NOSM University affiliation.
     
  8. When done, select Submit My Booking. Your booking will be confirmed on the next screen. You will also receive an email confirmation.
