College students with drones? There’s obviously no cause for concern here.

Check it out: Florida university library to lend drones to students

Students at the University of South Florida will be soaring to new academic heights, with drones.

College students will be getting their hands on more than just books at the USF come the fall semester. The Tampa campus plans to offer remote-controlled drones for students to check out for school-related projects.

It’s a bold move considering that more places are starting to limit the access of drones, including the National Park Service, which announced a temporary ban on the use of drones on Friday. The NPS announcement basically bars the access of unmanned devices to 84 million acres of land in the U.S.

Yet, USF is taking a different approach to drones, making the technology more accessible to its students. The library purchased two drones with some leftover money from a grant to remodel its facility with new technology. These drones are capable of taking aerial video and photography.

The library’s hope is to integrate new technology to its services. In the past year, the library has worked to expand its “Digital Media Commons” in an effort to promote digital learning. Now, USF’s library is taking it a step further by giving students the opportunity to operate the drones, which are valued at $1,500 apiece.
