Photocopying/Printing

We have photocopiers on the first floor of the Library in Northeast corner. The photocopiers can make black-and-white one-sided copies.
The cost is 10¢ per page, and copy machines accept coins and bills ($1-$20). All change is returned in coins. The library counters cannot provide change, but you may obtain change at the La Capitol Credit Union (down from Starbucks, across the street) or the stores nearby. If you need assistance with copying, please ask at the Circulation Desk.

Printing is available in the Computer Lab on the first floor. Only students may print from the lab because a student password is required. The lab has two black-and-white Laser Printers. The GoPrint application used to manage your printing only allows ULM Students to print. The printing limit is 150 sheets per week, and cannot be reset unitl the next week. If you need help printing in the lab, please ask the desk worker for assistance.

Printing is not available on the first floor kiosk computers outside the computer lab or the kiosks near the elevators on other floors. We recommend that students bring a USB memory stick if they are planning to work on Library computers to keep files and perhaps print them later.

Print Less...

The 150 limit for students, once reached, means that student cannot print more until the next week. Here are some ways to avoid reaching the limit:

When You Write/Create for Print

• Use smaller fonts to get as much text on a page as possible
• Reduce the margins to use up every bit of paper
• Use both sides of the paper
• Use columns to fill as much of the page as possible without making it hard to read
• In Excel, be careful what cells you have selected
• When preparing PowerPoint files meant to be printed, choose backgrounds that won’t use as much ink
• If you are writing something short, duplicate it on two parts of the paper or more and cut it in half

Printing Articles / Pages

• You can also change the colors in PPT files given to you
• Print multiple pages on a sheet. Word and Adobe PDF do this
• Don’t print articles you find online; Save them to your computer or a flash drive
• Use print preview; only print what you need
• If you must print a web page, try pasting the text into Word or another program to cut out parts you don't need
