You can find it by going to <a href=\"https:\/\/booking.ncl.ac.uk\/Connect2Sacs\">https:\/\/booking.ncl.ac.uk\/Connect2Sacs<\/a> on any device connected to the Internet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, you\u2019ll have to log in. Press the Sign into Your Account button, then click Sign in With Your \u2018University ID\u2019 on the next page. Enter your Campus username &amp; password into the boxes (these are the same as your credentials for any computer on Campus).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, it\u2019s time to book equipment! You will see a list of all the equipment you have permission to book, which depends on your course &amp; module. You can select any of the items by clicking Add to Basket. When you\u2019ve selected all the items you need, click the green Create Booking box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, you\u2019ll see a Calendar page. You can easily choose the times you need the item(s) for by using the box on the right hand side. Then, click Update to save it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will now have to agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions. Please make sure you read through it all carefully so that there is no confusion on the loans, charges &amp; breakages policies. If you are happy to proceed, tick the box at the bottom of the page &amp; then click next.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, you\u2019ll see the Notes page. Add any necessary information then click next!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, you\u2019ll see a summary of your booking. Please review all the information on there to make sure it is correct. Once you\u2019re happy, click Submit. You\u2019ll then see a confirmation page and receive an email verifying that your booking has been made!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Tips n\u2019 Tricks<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can find the items you are looking for on the store page much easier if you sort items by category, or use the search box on the left.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please book all items you need at the time into a single booking, rather than making multiple individual bookings, which makes things less of a hassle for our team. You can do this by utilising the Add to Basket button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All items can be picked up at The Hatch (floor 2 of the Old Library Building). It is open 10AM \u2013 12PM and 2pm &#8211; 4pm, Monday to Friday. (Afternoon sessions only outside of term time)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To return an item, simply bring it back to The Hatch at the 15 minute interval around the time you\u2019ve chosen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you bring your University-issued smartcard with you, as this is how the system knows who you are. You cannot pick up or return items without it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please make sure any items are returned the way you got it, cameras &amp; the like with their SD cards, as we cannot accept any returns without it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring the items back on time, as the system automatically charges you for late returns. You also cannot book new items if you have late ones due to be returned, or unpaid loans on your account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have any further questions, email the technicians at <a href=\"mailto:music.loans@ncl.ac.uk\">music.loans@ncl.ac.uk<\/a> .\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step-by-step Tips n\u2019 Tricks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5422,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-equipment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5422"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":373,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195\/revisions\/373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/themusicstudios\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
