Business Office - TEBI

 
TEBI (Technology Equipment and Building Improvements)

Each year the University Librarian, in consultation with Library Council, designates centralized funds for the purchasing of computer equipment, software and peripherals and furniture (Typically for purchases greater than $500). Purchase decisions using these centralized funds are made through the annual “TEBI” (Technology, Equipment and Building Improvements) purchase process. 

If you need help with your TEBI request to obtain quotes or to make sure you are completely capturing all of the anticipated costs associated with the need, please be sure to consult with the IT Department for any technology-related requests or with Facilities for any building infrastructure or furniture requests. Some questions you may want to ask yourself...

  • Are you requesting all of the components needed for the equipment to be fully installed and operational?
  • Do you need any data or electrical pulled associated with a piece of equipment?
  • Is any furniture needed in order for equipment to be set up?
  • Are there any costs that will need to be paid in the future (annual license fees, maintenance, etc.)?

If your request is related to a larger project that involves multiple components, it may be helpful to provide an attachment that describes the project in more detail than what can be reasonably fit into the Description/Specific Purpose column of the request list. Any such information can be helpful for reviewers to understand the nature of your request and how best to prioritize relative to other organizational needs.
