In the message dated: Mon, 04 May 2015 08:16:44 -0400, The pithy ruminations from berg...@merctech.com on <[lopsa-discuss] management of shared loaner equipment> were: => At $WORK we have shared equipment (laptops, projectors, external drives, => etc.) available on loan to staff, grad students, postdocs and faculty => (~65 people). => => We've had on-going issues with ensuring that the equipment is complete => and ready for use -- most often things like items being returned missing => cables, chargers, and peripherals.
Thanks for all the feedback. In summary, your responses provided very helpful "calibration" that our current policy is in line with common practices (if not more liberal). This was important in addressing some internal objections to the policy & enforcement. Mark Oh, what should I do with all the left shoes that people seem to have given us in trade for new laptops? :) => => I'm very interested in learning about any policies or mechanisms you => use to manage similar loaner equipment. => => Thanks, => => Mark => => -- => Mark Bergman _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
