Abstract

Over the last several years, the John C. Hitt Library has added a variety of technology equipment to be checked out to students. The laptop loan program was implemented in 1999 and has been expanded over the years. Through this program, users can check out a laptop and use it for 4 hours in the library. The first iPad loan program went live in 2010 along with loaning digital and video cameras, Blu-ray players, scanners which can all be checked out for a week. This proposal will outline a plan to provide Dell tablets as a complement and alternative to the iPad. In addition, public scanning stations will be proposed that will give students the opportunity to easily scan material, save it to a flash drive or “in the cloud.” Finally, the replacement of the large monitors in the collaboration space in the Knowledge Commons will be included along with the addition of collaboration systems that will allow students using the space to share their laptop displays on the monitors.
