You?ll note that the investment in a large<br>> branch (10 iPads) is about $7,500. As you know libraries only get a very<br>> small discount from Apple through large resellers like CDW-G. What has<br>> sometimes come up as a problem is that you need a credit card to create an<br>> ITunes account and smaller libraries often don?t have ?corporate? credit<br>> cards.****<br>><br>> The iPads circulate in-house for two hours using the circulation system<br>> (no PCRes or whatever) and the same loan rules as our laptops.****<br>><br>> When the iPad is returned it is placed in the charging stand and reset to<br>> factory settings and re sync?d with iTunes. Using the most recent version<br>> of the configurator simplifies this process by just restoring from an<br>> image. Elapsed time between uses about 5 minutes.****<br>><br>> This has been a very quiet rollout with lots of time devoted to staff<br>> training. But, with school starting we expect demand to increase.****<br>><br>> Although we have a variety of ?tablets? we?re using them for staff<br>> training and not circulating them because I haven?t found an equally<br>> efficient way to restore and re-sync them between uses.****<br>><br>><br>> *On Behalf Of *Stephen Cram<br>> *Sent:* Tuesday, August 20, 2013 3:03 PM<br>> *To:* Oplin Tech list<br>> *Subject:* [OPLINTECH] Question about iPads and/or Tablets****<br>><br>> ****<br>><br>> We have recently been given a cash memorial and the staff would like to<br>> purchase either iPads or Tablets for patorn use In house.****<br>><br>> Would like suggestions about how these are used in other libraries.****<br>><br>> ****<br>><br>> I guess my main concern is them growing legs and walking out the door. ***<br>> *<br>><br>> I'm not as concerned with downloads as these can be reset to factory<br>> settings fairly easily. ****<br>><br>> If you have iPads or Tablets, what are your experiences and rules of use?*<br>> ***<br>><br>> ****<br>><br>> Thanks in advance for your time,****<br>><br>> ****<br>><br>> Stephen Cram****<br>><br>> Facilities Coordinator****<br>><br>> North Baltimore Public Library****<br>><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>-----<br>Tim Burns<br>Birchard Public Library<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
