The lottery for graphing calculator distribution is now open. The Newman Library News blog post about it has all the details. You can show students this news blog post (which includes a link the entry form) by starting out from any of these three paths:

1. Go to “News” on the main navigation on the library website and look for the post (it should be the latest one).
2. Look for the tweet on Dean Downing’s @ciobaruch Twitter account that is re-published on the library’s home page
3. Go to the Technology Loan Service page on the library site, scroll down to the graphing calculators and click the link for “check fall 2018 availability”

Information about the spring 2018 lottery for graphing calculators can be found on the Newman Library News. A link to the news announcement can also be found on:

• the “check availability” link in the listing for “Graphing Calculators” on the Technology Loan Service page
• this tweet from the “Baruch IT+IR+Library” account (@ciobaruch)

As of this morning (Monday, September 12) we still have graphing calculators left to be loaned out for the fall semester. These are available on a first-come, first service basis at the circulation desk.

The library news blog has a post now with details about the process for students who want to be on the waiting list. If you want to show the post to students, you can click the “News” link in the main navigation bar or on tweet about it lower down on the page:

The lottery for TI-89 calculators has closed. Students have been emailed if they were chosen, and they can pick them up at the Circulation Desk. Any additional calculators left over will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis at the Circulation Desk on Wednesday, September 10th at 9 AM.

Yesterday, the waiting list for the graphing calculator loan program for spring 2014 opened up. Details on how students can add their names to the list can be found on Arthur’s post on the library news blog.

Students who were selected in the lottery for the TI-89 graphing calculators can pick them up now from the circulation desk. Students have until 10 pm on Tuesday, September 10, to pick them up. Beginning Wednesday, September 11, all remaining calculators will be distributed from the 3rd floor laptop desk on a first-come, first-served basis.

We learned a few minutes ago that the 400 graphing calculators have been distributed.

I received an email reference question about what model calculators were being distributed and did not find this information anywhere in our signage throughout the library, at the library’s website or even in the reference wiki.
I updated the reference wiki to reflect this information and would suggest signage be revised to reflect this key information. This would avoid confusion with other types of calculators students may be interested in borrowing for the semester (i.e. financial calculators).
