Lending Longterm Technology: An Unexpected Journey

In the fall of 2020, the TWU Libraries were awarded a Texas State Libraries and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant to purchase laptops and hotspots for students in need of technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students are now able to check these devices out for an entire semester.

In this poster presentation, we outline the journey taken as we developed policies and procedures for our semester-long equipment lending program.
