Comments on: Gleeson Lending Laptops! http://gleesongleanings.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/gleeson-lending-laptops/ News & Updates from Gleeson Library|Geschke Center, University of San Francisco Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:14:47 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Kelci Baughman McDowell http://gleesongleanings.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/gleeson-lending-laptops/#comment-282 Kelci Baughman McDowell Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:43:47 +0000 http://gleesongleanings.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-282 hey Crap, I think from the library's perspective 2 things stopped us from allowing laptops outside the library: 1. allowing a laptop outside of the library increases the chances of it not being returned by probably 50% or more 2. this is still a relatively new service, so we want to see how it goes before expanding or altering it, so hypothetically it is possible your wish may come true some day also, don't you think there's a bonus to being able to sit wherever you want in the library when writing that paper? and believe it or not, all the library's computer labs do become completely full on occasion, especially around finals! maybe someone from access services wants to add something? hey Crap, I think from the library’s perspective 2 things stopped us from allowing laptops outside the library:

2. this is still a relatively new service, so we want to see how it goes before expanding or altering it, so hypothetically it is possible your wish may come true some day

also, don’t you think there’s a bonus to being able to sit wherever you want in the library when writing that paper? and believe it or not, all the library’s computer labs do become completely full on occasion, especially around finals!
