[LIBRARYDIR] laptop lending--funding and fees attached?

Wed Jan 23 09:30:22 PST 2019

Hi - We have 66 Chromebooks with a variety of lending options, including classroom sets for instructors. We have used student tech fee/student government funds and eLearning funds to purchase them.
Here’s a link to our student borrowing agreement: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0jH3YU9nh5JcHJ4Zkh1Q3pSaEE/view?usp=sharing

The reason we purchased the Dell Lattitude 3350 was because they are solid state with a flexible screen.  They have extra impact bumpers around the sides.  You can drop those puppies or slam the lid shut with a pen or pencil inside and they are fine.  The keyboards are sealed so you can spill a latte on them and no harm is done.  They were designed for the K-12 system.  They have held up really well.  We charge $1,000 if they are lost and $3/day overdue fine for the laptop and $3/day fine for the power cord.

Yakima’s 80 student laptops were purchased by Technology Services out of student technology fees.  We only lend them for a week at a time and don’t charge a rental fee, but we do charge $25/day overdue fees up to the replacement cost ($700 for computer, cords, and carry bag).  All of ours are Dell Inspirion 13” 2-in-1’s, selected by Tech Services.  They are kind of fragile – we’ve had to replace the screen on several of them.

Wow, so WWCC is lagging behind on laptop support.

Out of curiosity, if you have this sort of Technology can you share your funding source?  (Library or other department budget, donation, grant funding, or student government, etc.)

And, if you have any sort of fee or fines attached?

Thanks so much!

Everett has about 150 laptops that we rent for $20 per quarter.  A very popular program for many years now!

Hi all,

Our foundation is looking into funding laptops for checkout/lending via our library. Currently, we do have laptops but they stay in-house, and the foundation would like to lend them for a quarter.

Do any of you have programs for longer-term lending? If so, I can contact you separately with some questions.

Thanks very much!
