Questionnaire

Narrative

Dr. Josie Weiss , Dean of the HBOI Nursing program, Dr. Jill Winland Brown, faculty for the Nurse Practitioner program at HBOI, and the HBOI Nursing TA, Lisa Kinchen, had requested the use of HBOI Library laptops for Nursing testing several days a week and several classes in a day.  There was a dramatic increase in student use this year with simultaneous classes and not enough laptops for the students.  There are also requests from the Education Dept. for the use of laptops by Marine Science students enrolled in our Semester by the Sea and Summer Intern programs.  New laptops for checkout in the Harbor Branch Campus Library would also benefit students in the new Master degree program for Coastal and Marine Science.  

Many of the students are also Mac users at home.  They are familiar with the software and prefer the graphics capabilities.  These students have requested the ability to checkout MacBooks through the library.

For a more efficient turnaround time to checkout these devices to students, we are requesting funds for a charge solution.
