  Purpose
 
The laptops were purchased to promote information literacy efforts and to increase library access points by circulating wireless laptops to ACC students and staff for in-library use only. When laptops are not being used for instruction by librarians, they can be borrowed from the library circulation desks.

 
  General Information
 
  • These campuses have laptops - EVC , NRG, PIN, RGC, RVS
  • Those not circulating to users will be given the status of “Not Available” in the catalog.
  • The circulating laptops operate via a wireless network; print to a designated printer on that network; and have restrictions on them similar to the desktop PCs in the Computer Centers.
  • Microsoft Office is the only software loaded beyond software necessary to access the Internet and view and hear web information, e.g., Adobe Acrobat Reader, QuickTime…
  • Users are unable to install their own programs on the laptops.
  • Users can save files only to My Documents or a disk (floppy, zip).

 
  Circulation Information
 
  • Users are responsible for loss, damage, and for self-support for technical and software issues with the laptops. 
  • Checkin requires checking the laptop for functionality, clearing of documents, and initialing by both the staff and the student and, thus, will take a few minutes.
