Abstract

The John C. Hitt Library has a long and successful track record of facilitating student use of new and emerging technologies. Open over 100 hours, and with over 2,000 items and 13,731 check-out transactions this year alone, the Library LibTech desk is the center for student technology lending. Keeping up with student demand is always a challenge. This technology fee will accomplish two critical tasks. It will increase the number of high-demand items LibTech cannot keep in stock, such as iPads, calculators, and portable chargers. It will also enable LibTech to purchase and lend items that the students highly request that previously were not carried or had limited quantities. These include microphones and portable pa systems. Student input on the type of equipment they need and would like to have available for check-out was considered when compiling the list.
