Re: [CODE4LIB] Graphic Tablets
At Temple our Science & Engineering library has had three of the Intuos 4 tablets for two or three years. We also have a couple Bamboo tablets.I will ask after our ongoing experience, but as I recall we got them because of demand from architecture and engineering students who wanted to use them in the library to complete projects after the architecture or engineering labs closed up... .an inquiry over in the CIRCPLUS listserv might get you more detailed feedback...

We also have a few workstations with drawing tablets attached. I can't speak about demand per se, or about policies, as I'm not in circulation, but I've fielded questions and requests about them at the reference desk. Students seem to appreciate them. That being said, we've got big design and engineering programs that are probably significant drivers of their use. Not sure what adoption would be like at institutions without academic populations that have an existing need. -dre.

Can you define what you mean by graphic tablet?
