The Law Library is pleased to announce that several mobile devices and laptop computers are now available for checkout. The Law Library has acquired 4 iPad Airs, 2 Kindle Fire tablets, 2 NookHD tablets, and 4 Dell laptop computers. An Apple TV is also available to check out and can be used to display the iPads (or other Apple devices) to the monitors at the Technology Learning Centers. (Display adapters for the Kindles and Nooks are forthcoming.)
All of these devices can be checked out by law students for single day use, provided they are returned by the end of the service day (by 9:00 p.m. Monday, Wednesdays, and Sundays; by 6:00 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays). The devices are all configured for download of the Law Library’s e-books and also have several legal research apps loaded on them. Other downloads on the devices are currently limited. A complete equipment use and checkout policy is available on the McKusick Law Library LibGuide, at the lower left, along with other library-related law school policies.
The Law Library is offering informal, drop-in demonstrations and training sessions for the mobile devices (as well as our new e-books program) during the week of January 19. Two sessions will be available for law students, staff and faculty -- one on Wednesday, January 21, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., the other on Thursday, January 22, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. The sessions will be held at the Technology Learning Centers on the main floor of the Law Library. Free coffee will also be provided. Please join us!
