Beginning in January the Libraries will offer state-of-the-art photocopiers with digital as well as traditional capabilities. Three new copy machines will allow the user to scan materials directly into a publicly accessible drive. The PDF files may then be emailed, stored in a Pantherfile space, downloaded onto a USB drive, or burned to a CD-ROM. The machines will scan in black and white or color, and also make black/white and color photocopies. All scanning will be free of charge.
The Libraries are also installing seven new traditional black/white copiers. For all copiers, black and white copies will cost 15 cents a copy (a five-cent increase) and color copies will cost 35 cents (a 40-cent decrease). The Libraries’ copiers are contracted through UWM Printing Services and prices are in line with those of other Printing Services-contracted copiers on campus.
Both coin-operated machines as well as those accepting just copy cards will be available. The new copiers will be located in the Reserve Room (1st floor East), the Reference and Instructional Support Room (1st floor West) and in the Current Periodicals Room (lower level West).
