Digital Alchemy: Transforming Borrowed Tech Into Learning Gold
Technology lending programs in academic libraries are vital for improving resource accessibility for students and faculty. This capstone project focuses on enhancing the Technology Lending Program at UC Santa Barbara’s library through research-based solutions. A comprehensive set of recommendations was developed by conducting surveys, literature reviews, and gathering staff input. These recommendations target Access, Policies, Sustainability, Marketing/Awareness, and Collaboration to optimize the Tech Lending Program. The aim is to tailor the program to better align with the specific needs of UC Santa Barbara library users, fostering a more efficient and user-centric lending experience.
