[LIBRARYDIR] My quick poll too--Software for Laptop Circulation?

[Bruce Hattendorf]

We’re going to start using ALMA for laptop loans in fall. Previously, we’ve had a very confusing system where different departments handled the loans individually, with Student Services helping to route the laptop requests to the appropriate area. It took us a year, but IT, Student Services, and the Library have worked together to move to a library checkout system. We’ve not considered any system other than ALMA to do this.

We use Alma.

We’ve got a lot of interest for using Alma for many campus departments.

Our Library currently circulates laptops using our ILS.

Our Business Office just informed me that they bought a new software to circulate laptops as these are "state resources."

I find this a bit strange. Does anyone else circulate their laptops using a different software?

All my best,
