iPads in the Library :: PIP System (SUNY Orange)

iPads in the Library Print All

Initiative Title	iPads in the Library
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	The Apple iPad has the technology to allow the user to download and read books, to listen to audio books, to watch movies and other instructional material, to search the web and college resources and to send and receive email. Due to its small, portable size, it would allow library staff to carry them around and do reference work on the floor, search the catalog, register patrons and perform many other duties without being tied to a desk or computer station. It would also allow staff to become familiar with new technology that we are seeing students use in the library. Checked out to students, the iPad would allow them to access material in many different formats, to research information, to view, edit and create class material and perform other educational activities. Having iPads available in the library would also allow faculty, staff and students the opportunity to have hands-on experiences with new technology.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Handheld devices are being used by students in increasing numbers. The iPad initiative would be a useful library tool and would also allow us to begin experimenting with these devices. If not funded there would be no major consequences, only a missed opportunity.
