The Oklahoma Daily - Bizzell offers laptop checkout: "Bizzell Memorial Library offers a laptop computer checkout service to students seeking convenience and mobility over using the computer labs in the library.
'I think [laptop checkout is] the most popular program we have,' said Jana Williams, supervisor of the library's current periodicals room. 'Students who use it really like it.'
The library, which has provided the service for almost five years, currently has 20 laptops available to check out. Williams said that in April, 2004, the library checked out the laptops more than 3,000 times."
Here at SWOSU we offer laptop checkout as well. Are there any other Okie Libraries circulating laptops to their patrons?

From what I've seen at SWOSU here are a few tips:
1) Come up with some sort of protective guard for the monitor to prevent fingerprint stains
2) Have regular mouse and head phones available for use/check-out
3) Develop a schedule for cleaning/maintenance/update of laptops
4) Train the Reference Desk to trouble shoot basic laptop issues
5) Promote the service!
