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 20 Macintosh laptops for the Wimberly Library, 10 Macintosh Laptops for HBOI, and 4 Macintosh laptops for Jupiter Library.
These devices will be included in the JAMF computer management system w/t yearly sub to ensure optimal device longevity, security, and management.
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.
Hardware Requirements
Wimberly Library
13-inch MacBook Air: Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU, 256GB @899.00 x20 = $17,980.00
Jupiter Library
13-inch MacBook Air: Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU, 256GB @899.00 x4 = $3,596.00
HBOI
13-inch MacBook Air: Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 7-core GPU, 256GB @899.00 x10 = $8,990.00
Software Requirements
JAMF Subscription @11.00 x34 = $374.00 per year x 3 years = $1,122.00
Personnel Costs
None Required
Other Costs
3-Year AppleCare+ for Schools @139.00 x 34 = $4,726.00
Timeline
The hardware can be purchased and installed as soon as funds are available.
Sustainability
The hardware will have to be maintained and replaced as necessary with Tech Fee funding or library funds.
