Purchasing Media-Related Equipment

The supervisor of the Media and Digital Projects Laboratory (MDRL) at the Auburn University Libraries needs to purchase additional flip video cameras for faculty, staff or student checkout. This order will replace lost equipment but also increase the number of video cameras the MDRL have available.

With the flip cameras it is advantageous if the following additional items can be purchased as well: camera bag, tripod, extra battery. The camera bag must be large enough to hold the camera manual as well as the other equipment. USB extension cables have been requested at various times from patrons so they don't have to get into precarious positions to connect the Flip cameras to the computers for downloading of their files.

These items need to be in place and ready for checkout by close of business day on Friday, September 3.

After an informal discussion with the Assistant Director of Technology and because of the budget constraints within the Auburn University Libraries, we have been told that this purchase amount must be no more than $1,000 (including shipping/handling).

After some discussion, this is the purchase order that we will be submitting.



There will be no taxes applied to this order since the company has an equipment contract with Auburn University.

Estimated shipping for 2nd day is $27.91.

So the total of the purchase will be $999.56
