BYOD stations are are available throughout libraries.  These stations consist of a 24" monitor that you can plug your device into to use as a second monitor via a USB-C connection which also charges your device.  An easy way to identify these stations is that unlike standard student computers, these stations do not include a keyboard and mouse.  

If you have a Windows laptop, by default the monitor will be a mirror of your laptop monitor. If you wish to set this up as a second independent monitor you will need to 'extend' the display. This can be done by pressing the Windows logo key + P and selecting the 'Extend' option. More information is available for configuring and extending displays for Windows and Mac.

More information is available on locations and number of BYOD stations.
