Abstract | The 21st-century student is highly technological. In order to encourage and enable the technologically advanced students, the authors wanted to develop a technology equipment service in the library at Texas A&M University-Commerce. They had an idea of what they wanted to accomplish but were unsure of how to get started. They started a small service, with technological devices that they understood and felt comfortable using themselves. Their first foray into technology equipment services involved loaning three laptops for 2-hour time blocks within the library. In just a few semesters, their technology equipment service had taken off with very little marketing, being propelled primarily by their students' word-of-mouth. Getting started with a technology equipment service can be a daunting task. The question of what to purchase is most easily answered by simply asking the patrons what technology they would like to have that is not currently offered. In this article, the authors discuss how to develop a technology equipment service in an academic library. They share their experiences and lessons learned in developing a technology equipment service. (ERIC). |
