Narrative
The FAU Wimberly Library Student PCs are the essential interface between our resources and our users, and they are heavily used on a daily basis; not only for access to the Libraries' catalog and the full-text resources we have online but also for everything else a student does from registration, class participation through Canvas, researching and writing papers, to contact with family and friends. To maintain optimum access, we seek to replace older hardware by purchasing 101 computers for the Wimberly Library and 25 computers for Jupiter. The replacement of the older computers at end-of-life will give a drastic increase in hardware and software performance in the student computing area(s). 121 of these will be all-in-one computers. These machines are cleaner and more streamlined with fewer cables, granting more desk/workspace and opening up more available power outlets at the computer desks for personal laptops and phones to charge. Students will have more flexibility to work with multiple devices at these workstations with the opportunity for their productivity. The 5 remaining Desktop PCs will replace Wimberly Libraries aging lookup stations.
Note: Our student count is calculated based on annual circulation (2019) stats (52,986) + annual building entry stats (742,413) giving us a total of 795,399.
