Campus printers also serve as photocopiers. There is a printer/copier on the first floor of the library. There is also one in the student lounge area on the lower level of the Boonshoft.

Printing/Photocopying is $0.05/page for black and white; $0.25 for color.

The RICOH printer on the first floor of the library has a fax line. To access the fax option, login and then press the System Home button. Several options will display. Select the Fax option.

The phone number must be preceded by 9 to get an outside line. Example: 9 937 395 0000

If the fax is being sent to a number outside the 937 area code, it must be preceded 91. Example: 91 888 888 8888

There are group study rooms on the lower level of the Learning Commons. Rooms may be reserved using the SmartWay reservation system. Use the instructions provided on the library home page to create an account on the reservation system, then you can make reservations on the panel outside the room you want to reserve, by downloading and using the Smartway2 app, or by using the reservation link on the library home page. While it is possible to make an anonymous reservation without an account, anonymous reservations can be cancelled by anyone, so it is best to create an account.

While a study room may be used without a reservation, please respect others’ reservations.
