Barbara,
I just received UT Austin's Library Bulletin. One of the featured articles
is about new laptop check-out service.
"Laptops can now be checked out in the Undergraduate Library (UGL) by
students, faculty, and staff with a current UT ID. These laptops are for
use only within the building and are available for check-out on a
first-come, first-served basis. Library users will be able to use these
laptops to research online library resources and the World Wide Web, send
e-mail, write papers, and complete assignments using Microsoft Office tools
such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
The thirty Dell Latitude C610 laptops are configured as follows:
* 1 GHz Pentium III processor
* 14.1 XGA display
* 128 MB RAM
* 20 GB Hard drive, DVD drive, Floppy drive "
We at the Marine Science Library do not have this service. The
Undergraduate Library is a separate library from the main library in Austin.
