Abstract
For years, LSA has had a Loan program where students, faculty, and staff can check out technology for short-term use, including laptops and MacBooks, iPads and tablets, cameras, webcams, microphones, and more. The last two years have been a time of rapid (and sometimes unexpected!) growth and change, from opening a new location (and one more on the way in Winter 2022), consolidating Loan services across Technology Services, expanding our holdings about 25% over the course of the pandemic, and reviewing/altering policies and processes in the short and long term. As more classes integrate increasing amounts of technology into their curricula, our services offer access to equipment otherwise unavailable to parts of the U-M community and provide all of our patrons with technological options for their classes, work, special events, and personal projects.
