Photocopies and Printing
A photocopier is located at the circulation desk in Sarah's Coffee House. The cost is $.10 per copy. Each patron must pay at that time, in cash, for the copies made. The photocopier may also be used to create and send PDFs as email attachments.
Faculty members and student organizations may charge copies to their departmental or organizational accounts.
There is a printer located in the 24 hour computer lap adjacent to Sarah's. There is no charge for print jobs initiated at library computers.
Reserves
The Reserve collection consists of library materials, photocopied materials, and personal copies of items that professors have placed in the library in order to make them accessible to students. A Reserve Holdings list for the current semester is available through the online catalog.
Reserve items marked 1, 2, or 3 hours are restricted to use in the library. If needed longer, that item may be renewed.
Reserve items marked 1, 2, or 3 days, or 1 week may be checked out of the library.
The Reserve collection is shelved behind the Circulation Desk. Please request any Reserve material by course number, professor, and title of item. The work-study student or staff member on duty will retrieve the material, and check it out to you for the specified loan period.
