Yes, LSU Online students are eligible to check out Gear 2 Geaux items, but they would have to come to the library to check them out. Persons with extenuating circumstances should contact Circulation by sending an email to libcirc@lsu.edu (mailto:libcirc@lsu.edu) .

Unfortunately, the library cannot give out guest passes to LSU Wi-Fi. Guest access to any LSU Wi-Fi network can only be granted by LSU ITS. ITS requires a faculty or staff member to request "sponsored" access in advance. This means that visiting scholars, etc. can work with LSU faculty or staff to become a "sponsored guest," but walk-in visitors to LSU Library will usually not be able to gain Wi-Fi access.

I am a student at LSU and am part of a club that wishes to collect donations to give to various charities. Is this possible and if so, whom should I contact to arrange for this sort of thing?

LSU Library used to offer a service that allowed library to patrons to recall items checked out to other patrons. Access Services no longer offers this option. Instead, if LSU Librarys copy of an item is checked out, patrons can obtain a different copy of the item through Interlibrary Loan. Catalog records for items that are checked out contain links for Interlibrary Loan that import the items citation information directly into a request form. In certain rare situations, library staff may recall an item from a patron.
