[LIBRARYDIR] Hot Spots and Chrome books?

[Tammy Siebenberg]

Julie,



Can you direct me to information about the Verizon contract with WACTC/SBCTC and hotspots?  I found information about software and hardware<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/it-support/contracts.aspx> contracts but Verizon is not listed.  One of the programs on my campus is interested in getting hotspots for student use.

We go through Verizon for our hot spots because they have a contract with WACTC. The additional hot spots we just ordered are on a monthly contract and approximately $43 for each line. Our IT department doesn't support Chromebooks.

Hi all~



For those if you purchasing hot spots or chrome books, do you have a suggested model/version that has worked well?



Thank you!

Centralia College campus is closed until April 24th and working remotely. Many of our instructors are opting to teach online the entire spring quarter. We don't have textbook reserves and are considering a method for circulating books to students by delivery. We just ordered 100 additional hot spots for students, faculty, and staff and plan to circulate hot spots/laptops in the library parking lot first week of spring quarter.



I am very interested in more information on the "bug box".

Stay healthy everyone,

Julie

How is everyone handling this for spring quarter if you have chosen to shut down the library?



In order to protect our staff and do our part in helping stem the spread of the virus, I chose to shut down the TCC Library for spring quarter (albeit with online faculty librarian support). All instruction is going online at TCC. That said, this means that textbook reserves will not be available. We are checking out class sets to instructors to distribute to students, but the individual textbooks will not be accessible.



I'm getting some push back about this. If you are shutting down the physical library, how are you handling textbook reserves?



Thanks
