[Julie Nurse]

Centralia is the same - we use Alma/Primo for everything including technology.

The library uses Alma / Primo for everything that it manages, including technology, including laptops. I would probably lose my mind if we were asked to use another circulation system…

IT does have an internal platform for cataloging/tracking state resources (can’t recall the name) but it doesn’t integrate or otherwise connect with Alma.

The library circulates laptops to students via ALMA/Primo. IT circulates tech to employees. Not sure what they use. Dawn

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,
