University Canopy
The library’s instruction and outreach department could use a university canopy for orientation and other university events. The tent would be placed in high-traffic points on campus, where the library could collaborate with other departments and librarians would be placed closer to students during campus events.
Cost: $200
iPads
The J.D. Williams Library is successfully using an iPad as part of its “roving reference” service, where librarians walk through the building and help patrons. The University Libraries would like to acquire two more iPads to use in library instruction and outreach and also in collection maintenance in the library stacks and in the library’s remote-storage facility.
