I coordinate our Technology workshop series, which covers everything from dis- sertation research all the way to coding. Our Python Land R workshops are highly regarded across campus and The Haves, the Have always have more than twenty-five people in attendance—it once had sixty! As part of these workshops and the consultations they Nots, and the Not offer, my fellow librarians and software developers Dan Kerchner and Laura Wrubel have noticed a new trend. This summer Ms. Wrubel posted a link to the article “Technol- Quite Enoughs ogy Problems and Student Achievement Gaps: A Validation and Extension of the Technology Maintenance Construct” to Slack with this commentary: “We’ve seen this as an issue in coding workshops and coding consultations, as students’ laptops are too slow, underpowered, or lack enough memory or storage to do what they need to do.”1 I found this surprising in many ways because our institution expects students have access to robust personal technology—for example, the latest phones, most current MacBook, and occasionally a tablet.

And grantors, including this piece in your grants would be beneficial as well. What partnerships do we see in our communities and institutions? For public libraries, how are we interfacing with state and local governments? At our institution, we were merged with the department that handles all the technology across campus. It brought us to a new mind-set and time frame for replacement, as well as access to newer technologies. 132 Reference & User Services Quarterly Technology How are we helping our users in the moment?
