14. Equipment to Go – A book that teaches a skill

In a collaboration with the MIT MakerWorkshop, MIT libraries offers a plethora of special use equipment. The equipment-to-go program provides MIT students, staff, and educators to borrow DSLR cameras, sewing machines, even home improvement tools. These kits are located at Rotch, but the libraries have so much more to offer. See our full list of equipment offerings here.
