For all new students, and a reminder for returning students, the campus libraries have laptop security leashes that you can borrow for several hours to use within the library.These may help prevent opportunist theft of your laptop, but they do need to be secured to an immovable object to work properly. Ask at the library enquiry desk for one next time you are in the library.
