The Faculty Chromebook Cart is available for classroom use by any BCC faculty member, during the library’s operating hours. It is equipped with 36 chromebooks for use. Chromebooks are “cloud-based” computers, meaning that documents cannot be saved to a hard drive. They can be e-mailed or saved in a students personal Google Drive account.
