Visit the NHTI Library
to try out our newest technology, Microsoft Surface RT tablets. Similar to an
iPad, the Surface RTs are wireless and have Microsoft Office 2013 - Word,
PowerPoint, Excel and Notepad installed.
These thin, light-
weight computers in bright orange cases will travel to study areas and the library
living room. The tile-based Windows RT with its colorful 10.6-inch display and
built-in kickstand make it easy to work at a table. The Surface RTs have a
touch screen and you may add a keyboard. The screen is very readable and
students use them for homework and Internet browsing. If you have no need to submit
a printed copy of an assignment, grab a tablet.
When a student wants to
use a tablet, he/she shows a current NHTI photo ID and signs up for a library
account. Because these units cost over $300.00, the library asks for
collateral, such as a current driver’s license, military ID card or passport.
We’ll hold one of these until you bring it back.
Try one out soon.
