Circulation on the Go--Implementing Wireless Laptop Circulation in a State University Academic Library.

In 2004, Sampson-Livermore Library at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, began circulating laptops to its patrons. After a small pilot project, full-scale implementation occurred and the service proved to be very popular. Policies and procedures were adjusted at several steps along the way to accommodate lessons learned from the circulation desk. Sampson-Livermore Library now circulates laptops, iBooks, portable DVD players, and MP3 players, in addition to peripheral equipment. Circulation of library equipment has skyrocketed, as this has become one of the library's signature services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
