Faculty and staff may now request equipment online.

The Technology Services and Academic Computing departments have offered equipment for check out by Drury faculty and staff for quite some time. However, the only way to submit requests up until now was by contacting Computer Services.

Faculty and staff may now request equipment online. Web Services and Technology Services have worked together to expand BING – Bookings and Information Next Generation – to manage the equipment that Technology Services checks out to faculty and staff members.

When a request is submitted online, it is sent directly to the BING system for review. Technology Services will review the request in BING and determine whether or not the item requested is available on the dates specified. If the item is unavailable, Technology Services will reserve an alternate item of the same type if available. Faculty and staff members are notified via Drury email for confirmation of their equipment requests.

The equipment available for check out includes laptops, video projectors, and digital cameras. The equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and may only be checked out by Drury faculty and staff members. A faculty or staff member may check out a resource on behalf of a student, but the faculty or staff member is fully responsible for the resource and ensuring it is returned on time.

Although Technology Services does not provide delivery or setup of equipment, they will be happy to show you how to connect the device(s).

To submit an equipment request, please visit http://it.drury.edu and click on the “Equipment Request” link beneath the Faculty/Staff section. You may also submit a request by clicking the “Equipment Request” link on the BING home page at http://bing.drury.edu .

Equipment requests may continue to be submitted in person in Springfield Hall 222 or by calling the Technology Services main office at 873.6800 during regular business hours.
