Narrative
The FAU Libraries student laptops are an essential interface between our resources and our users, and they are heavily borrowed on a daily, weekly and long term 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 10 PC High-Performance Laptops for the Harbor Branch Campus Library, and 10 laptops for the Jupiter Campus Library. With these better performance laptops, students will gain an opportunity to increase productivity while feeling comfortable and confident using new equipment.
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.
