ABSTRACT
In 2003, Sampson-Livermore Library began investigating the possibility of circulating wireless laptops to students to use in the library, especially for group work. The University of North Carolina at Pembroke is a rural school with one of the highest diversity rates in the nation, and supports 5,827 full time students and 255 full time faculty. As enrollment at the University increased, the funds became available to launch a pilot project. Four HP laptops were purchased and in spring 2004, the library began to circulate laptops.
