# ABP Loans Desk

The ABP Loans Desk is a fully equipped media loans facility. We provide students and staff with a wide range of bookable digital media equipment, from digital SLR’s, Video and Sound Recording Kits, Photographic Lighting, Tripods, a Photographic Studio Space with Professional Lighting, Virtual Reality Kit’s, high resolution 3D Scanners, and digital Projectors.

This knowledge base is designed to provide a quick and basic understanding of our key loan equipment. Most knowledge is transferable between similar products such as different brand and model DSLR's however may not be specific to the model you have picked-up. 

If you require more specific information we kindly suggest to search YouTube or google for the user guides, there may be some extra references we think are suitable at the bottom of each guide.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ms-kb.msd.unimelb.edu.au/abp-loans-desk/master/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
