Textbooks

The Library does not own textbooks used in COS classes.  However, many instructors place extra copies of textbooks and other class materials on Reserve.  These materials are available for one- or two-hour check out periods and cannot leave the library building.  The library offers photocopiers and scanners should you need to copy any information to take home with you.

 

Printing & Photocopying

Costs - To print from the computers in the LRC you must use your rechargeable GO PRINT card, which can be purchased from the GO PRINT dispensing machine in the lobby of the LRC. The card itself costs $0.50; there is a minimum purchase of $1.00. The card can be recharged at any time for any amount up to $100.00.

Printer Locations - Print jobs in the LRC are sent to two locations. Jobs printed from the Computer Commons are sent to the GO PRINT station located to the right of the Computer Help Desk. Print jobs are identified by Banner ID. Follow the instructions at the GO PRINT station to print and retrieve your print job. Print jobs from the research stations across from the Reference Desk in are sent to a GO PRINT station across from the Circulation Desk. Print jobs are identified by the number on the specific computer terminal from which the print job was sent.

Copy Machines - There are two copy machines on the first floor of the LRC located in front of the Circulation Desk near the magazine shelves. There is also a copy machine located on the second floor next to the Library classroom #203 at the top of the stairs. Copies cost $0.10 cents per page, 8 ½ by 11, single-sided copies only. The machines accept coins, $1.00 bills and $5.00 bills.
