Narrative

The FAU Libraries public 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 Blackboard, researching and writing papers, to contact with family and friends. To maintain optimum access, we seek to replace 49 of our public PCs that are out-of-warranty. Thirty seven all-in-one PC's would be replaces in the Instruction Lab at the Boca Raton Campus Library, nine all-in-one PCs at the harbor Branch Campus Library, and three public desktops for the Collaborative Study room at the Harbor Branch Campus Library.

We have observed an increase in the number of requests for iMacs at all three library campuses. The Boca library currently has five outdated and out-of-warranty iMacs while the Jupiter campus has one collaborative study room with an outdated iMac. We are also proposing to replace five of the out-of-warranty iMacs, add one to the public area in Jupiter, and add one at the Harbor Branch campus.
