[LIBRARYDIR] Circulating Chromebooks...

[Jeanne Leader]

We've been checking out small computers (netbooks) for several years and
this is funded by our student eTech fee.  We have a significant rate of
loss (about 10 per quarter - jeez!) and some of that is recovered through
collections.  I'm glad that the students have funded this because they seem
much less concerned about the loss than I am.  As far as damage, if the
computer can no longer be checked out, we would charge the full replacement
cost.  We've had several with broken screens and the cost of repairing that
damage is greater than replacement.
