We have now available, for staff borrowing only, 2 iPad and 2 iPad2. Staff from HSSL ,HRML, Islamic Studies and Rare Books can request this equipment . The loan period is 2 weeks, one possible renewal if no requests are pending.
Staff is asked not to use or display the iPads near the desks, where our library users could see them and start demanding to borrow them. Please contact one of the supervisors at the loans desk if you are interested in using an iPad. They will inform you of the procedure to follow.
The main purpose of the loan is to allow staff to familiarize themselves with the equipment. There are guided tours in video at http://www.apple.com/ipad/guided-tours/. If you need additional information, you may want to contact Maria Savova. It is possible that some introductory session might be organized if the demand requires it. Please be aware that only a few free apps have been loaded, but you can add more apps that you want to try for different applications from the apps store (credit card number is required, even to get free apps).
Those who borrow the iPads are responsible for taking good care of them. Replacement cost is about $850 - full retail price of the whole package (iPad, accessories, cover and pouch) + $150 administrative fees
We would appreciate if you share your experiences using this new tool that result in improving or enhancing our work experience. Please send an e-mail to anna.dipietro@mcgill.ca , who will centralize the information
