Printing/Copying Charges

Charging Library Services to Departmental Accounts

Photocopying Library Materials
If authorized to do so by your department, you can use the faculty/staff copier on the main floor of the library, near the periodicals.  Its use requires the 8-digit account number that you obtain from your department.  Printing Services has entered most but not all of the total campus account numbers into this copier.  In order to add an account number to this copier, your department chair should submit a request to Printing Services during business hours, Monday-Friday.

Printing Microform Materials
The library has several kinds of microform reader-printers, including two digital scanners.  These allow you  to scan from the film and email as TIFF files, save to CD or zip disk, or print directly to the library's networked printers.  While there is no cost for emailing or saving to disk, printing requires payment with an Eagle Access card, either a shared card provided by your department/grant administrator, or a personal card.  Printing from the scanners cannot be charged to an account.

Copies from the other older, non-digital reader-printers may be paid for with dimes (each copy is $0.10), or charged to your department/grant, if so authorized.  To do this, you (or your student assistant) should speak with the reference librarian on duty.  You will be asked to record your name, department, account number, and number of copies made.  This service is available only when the reference desk is staffed.  For reference desk hours, please visit the library Web site at http://www.usi.edu/library/hours.asp.

Printing from Library Computers
Although many of the library's electronic resources are available in your office or remotely, if you wish to print while in the library, an Eagle Access card is necessary.  You may use a shared card provided by your department or a personal card.  The charges for printing are $0.10 per page.  Money can be added to your personal card either in the library or the Eagle Access office.  The library cannot charge this type of printing to any account number.  An alternative approach is to ask the reference librarian to show you how to access the needed information in your office.

Interlibrary Loan
If you request an item via Interlibrary Loan that the library already has, the item will be copied and sent to you, but the copying costs will be charged to your department.

Course Reserves
If you request that an item be placed on reserve but do not supply the item to the library, your department will be charged the cost of copying the item.
