First Reading: Second Reading:

WHEREAS, the Student Organization Resource Center says there is a known demand from the

student body for computer projectors; and,

WHEREAS, computer projector equipment is currently available for education majors at the

College of Education Media Center in Poe hall; and,

WHEREAS, the libraries have the policy, procedures, and staffing already in place to facilitate

the lending of projector equipment; and,

WHEREAS, Joe Sevits, an NCSU Library Associate for Student Engagement, received two

confirmations that the Library will provide the staff support for lending projectors

out (under the existing 24-hour tech lending service), the IT expertise for selecting

the projector model(s), and the financial support to maintain and replace projector

equipment; and,

WHEREAS, the Libraries cannot immediately serve this demand with their lending programs

under current budget constraints; and,

WHEREAS, adding this lending service would not place a significant burden on our resources

or require lengthy delays prior to implementation; now therefore be it,

RESOLVED, that the NCSU Student Senate hereby acquire 6 computer

projectors from NCSU Materials Support Surplus; and be it further,

RESOLVED, this equipment be transferred to the library's lending service;

and be it further,

RESOLVED, that it is recommended that the Libraries feature projectors on the electronic

displays in the library; and be it further,

RESOLVED, that it is recommended that the Libraries add projectors to tech lending publicity throughout the Libraries website.
