Dear Claire, How about purchasing for individual international student use and then when the student is done, request the equipment back to put into your loan pool? Of course also good practice/idea etc to have equip and tech available in library too! Thanks Brigid (ps still waiting to hear if anyone out there has CSW BSL level 3 contact!) *********************************************************** Brigid Callaghan Senior Disability Adviser Student Services University of Bolton Deane Rd Bolton BL3 5AB [log in to unmask] Direct line: 01204 903803 Minicom: 01204 903490 *********************************************************** -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Claire Shanks Sent: 21 March 2007 16:39 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Support Funds I have a query for those institutions who have a support fund for disabled students, mainly non-DSA students. Does anyone have any guidance on how this fund is used? For example, would you purchase items of equipment and software specifically for a student or would you consider purchasing software to be installed within the University library/IT areas or would you consider both options? What I am trying to establish is whether purchasing specialist software for overseas students to be used in the main university areas is reasonable or should we be considering purchasing the software for their own personal use. We already have some laptops with specialist software on for use as loan equipment but there are times when they are all on loan. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
