Copy cards

Copy cards can be purchased from the dispenser located beside the photocopiers on the Main Floor. Once you purchase a blank card at a cost of $1.00, you may place any monetary value on the card. Please note that the dispenser does not give change. For your convenience, a change machine is located adjacent to the dispenser.

The debit card readers attached to the photocopiers will deduct 10¢ from your card for each copy you make. Copies of microform materials made on the microform readers/printers cost 20¢ per page.

Student printer

Two printers are located on the far wall past the "Atlases" on the Main Floor. Both are connected to the printer name "lib-laser" and are dedicated for student use. You must log in to the Acadia network to access these printers.

Instructions to set up the library printers

These printers cannot accommodate requests to print on paper other than letter-size (8.5"x11"). Students who wish to print on legal size paper can do so, in person, at Technology Services.

If you have problems printing to the student printer in the Library:

Confirm that you are logged into the network.
Plug into the network
The wireless connection is considerably slower than a hard-wire connection into the network. If you have your network cable with you, it would be worthwhile plugging in when sending print requests.
Make sure that you have enough print credits for the print job
You can check and add print credits to your account online at http://ts.acadiau.ca/how-do-i-add-more-print-credit.html or by visiting the User Support Centre.

If you are still having problems, visit Technology Services.
