For those who lend out laptops, how do you manage it when demand exceeds supply?</div>

Students are allowed to place laptops on hold and the list fills up quickly. This quarter we had 30+ students who requested a laptop when none were available. They will be prioritized for next quarter after they confirm they are still interested in borrowing
one.</div>

This whole process has gotten unwieldy with the amount of communication involved. We're trying to make it as equitable as possible but are finding we have to contact students multiple times to pick up their equipment, confirm interest for the following quarter,
etc.</div>

We're considering moving to a first-come, first-served model, or at least a cap on the waitlist, but I'm concerned about knock-off effects (i.e. students who live far away, who don't know about laptops in time, etc.). This would be a pretty drastic change so
we wouldn't implement it until Spring Quarter. If anyone has any ideas or has had more success with their own processes, I'm very open to hearing them!</div>
