Laptop scenarios for renewing during finals

We've had some questions about the no laptop renewals rule so we've decided on a more specific set of parameters for you to follow. 

·         If there are 5 or less laptops left in the cabinet, the students cannot renew their laptop.  They also cannot check out a different laptop from the cabinet.  They can come back in an hour and if there are still laptops available they can check a new one out.  If the patron becomes upset and a supervisor is around, please come get one of us.

·         If there are 6 or more laptops left in the cabinet you can go ahead and issue them a regular renewal, but explain to them that this in no way guarantees a renewal later in the day/week.

I would also recommend reminding the students to save files to their T drives this week, especially in the event they need to continue working on something and they cannot renew their laptop.  Their T drive can be accessed from any computer they log in to on campus and they can resume their work on a different device.
