Dear Faculty Member,
UCSB Library is pleased to announce the launch of the Tech & More Program, a user-centered lending program that enhances student experiences within the Library, in the classroom, and across campus.
From laptops, calculators, VR headsets, and other technological equipment to study tools and beyond, Tech & More focuses on individual student success while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and encouraging sustainability. The program’s evolving collection reflects the spirit of libraries by offering a range of free resources that seek to reduce educational barriers, encourage new interests, and support learners of all types.
As an instructor, you know students’ educational needs and requirements better than anyone. That’s why we’d greatly appreciate your input as we continue to develop and refine the program to ensure that we are providing a responsive collection of items.
We’d especially value your responses to the following questions:
- How have you utilized Course Reserves, Tech & More, or any other student-focused UCSB Library service in relation to your courses?
- Is there any technology or specialized item(s) you require or would like to utilize for your course(s)?
- What item(s) would you suggest adding to our current offerings to support your courses and/or enhance the student experience on campus?
Please send your responses - or any additional feedback - to us at library-techandmore@ucsb.edu.
Thank you!
he Tech & More Team at UCSB Library
