Equipment Long-Term Loans: Difference between revisions

# Consider if a loan is right for you and the equipment you have, after carefully reading the rules above

# Contact the maintainer(s) relevant to the particular area your equipment would be stored in to discuss what you have and what it might be used for. This could be in person, or on one of the subject-focused discord channels

# Bring the item in for an initial ‘trial period’ via a regular storage request of a set period e.g. a month. This will be a good chance for the wider membership to try it out and decide whether it’s a good fit for the space, and whether a long-term loan is appropriate or we should instead purchase one

# if the maintainers approve your loan, they will make a record of it in this wiki page and notify you that it's been approved. It will also get a wiki page of it’s own (if large equipment) or be listed as an accessory to the relevant parent machine

# you should then clearly label your item, and bring it into the space storing it in a suitable location
