[LIBRARYDIR] Questions about technology for students

[Howard Fuller]

  1.  Students use computer labs sparingly. Its becoming quite rare that a student doesn't have their own technology.
  2.  The library has never provide chromebooks/laptops, but IT provides laptops. I believe they were purchased with herf money (so not sustainable) and IT maintains them (probably not sustainable).
  3.  I am not that I'm aware of any school requirement stating students must provide their own computer device.


Thanks
Howard

Hi Everyone,

At LCC we're discussing the future of technology available to students, so I've been tasked with gathering information about what you all are doing at your colleges. My questions:


  1.  Do you still have open computer labs on campus? If so, are students using them?
  2.  Is your library still providing Chromebooks and/or laptops for checkout to students? If so, how are they purchased and maintained?
  3.  Does your institution have a requirement that students provide their own computing device? If so, how is that funded (i.e. a student success fund, or attached to class materials so it can be covered with financial aid money)?

Thanks very much in advance for any information you can share!
