The Essentials

Who said nothing good is free? Every library on campus now offers high-quality scanning at no charge.

The library is entering a new era in printing services, forming a partnership with Cornell Business Services to provide public copying, printing and scanning services. In addition to scanning, color and large-format printing are also available at every campus library. (Not all the machines will be networked, however, so remember to bring a thumb drive containing the files.)

The landscape has changed since 1999, when the Library installed its first copiers in Olin and Mann libraries. Now, digital scanning and multiple print formats are in far more demand than traditional photocopiers.

Printing changes also mean changes to the vendacard system, so keep an eye out for new machines and signs explaining how to make the transition – and feel free to ask library staff for help.
