(Sep 29/11) Please bring the laptop lending service back! From my understanding, the laptops were taken away as there was some vote that took place asking whether students wanted more library space or laptops? Firstly, I was not aware of it, nor were MANY other students. How many people actually voted? And why was the decision made on such a small, under representative student population - because I doubt that many students actually were aware or actually did vote? -From a very unhappy, and frustrated student.
Library response: Thanks for taking the time to comment on the laptop lending program. The decision was made after a consideration of priorities and with regard for financial and personnal realities. The vote to which you refer was a factor in the decision, but was ultimately one of many. D. Askey (Sep 30/11)
