Lending is a great way to whet the appetite for a new way of using library resources! iPads are available for loan from the Library’s collection to the students, faculty, and residents. The purpose of this 3 month pilot is to assess the value of the iPad and interactive content in teaching and learning. A brief assessment survey completed by individuals who borrow the iPads will provide data to guide our next steps.
