Graduate Student Council's Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) Lending Library

Georgia Institute of Technology :: College of Computing

Thanks to additional funding from TSO, we have been able to procure more equipment and upgrade some of our current equipment!

Simply adjusting the layout of your work environment (height of your chair, position of your monitor, etc.) can greatly improve your work environment and reduce the risk of RSI and related injuries. Please see the ergonomic guidelines for arranging a computer workstation from Cornell University.

The following items are available to borrow (for free) for up to a month from the GSC RSI Lending Library. If you find that the device you borrowed is helpful, you should ask your advisor to purchase it for you. The approximate cost of each device is listed in the table. To borrow any of these devices, please contact Shauvik Roy Choudhary (shauvik@gatech) to arrange a pickup time. Devices are located in Lab 2405 in the Klaus building, and borrowers are responsible for picking up and returning them.

If a device you're interested in is borrowed or overdue, please ask to be added to the waiting list. This way you will be notified when the device is returned. Overdue items will be recalled immediately if there is interest from a new borrower.
