Use of Laptop Computers in an Academic Medical Library

Med Ref Serv Q. 2007;26(2):27-36

Authors: Atlas MC, Garza F, Hinshaw R

Who borrows laptop computers in an academic health sciences library? Why do they choose to check out laptops? In a survey, laptop computer users responded that the laptops were used most frequently to do class-related work. Laptops were most often checked out because they could be taken to a quiet area of the library or to where the user had more room to work. The majority of such borrowers were satisfied or very satisfied with the laptops and the service from the library. The majority of those completing the survey were medical school students and graduate students. The circulation of laptop computers at this academic health sciences library is a very successful and popular program. doi:10.1300/J115v26n02_03.
