100,000 printed pages

While it's still too early to tell, our printing pace is only slightly off from this time last year. As you know, the College had to make some changes to printing policies, to offset tremendous costs & waste. There are still ways that you can save time & money.

- use simple filenames with proper extensions, example PsycPaper1.docx
- consider reading PowerPoints (PPTs)and PDFs onscreen when practical
- print double-sided and multiple pages per page side whenever possible
- avoid dark backgrounds in Powerpoint, saves toner and speeds printing

More detailed information about GoPrint and printing policy can be found at http://library.fandm.edu/printing.html.

Lonely Labor Day?



With a skeleton staff in the Library, and most of the working world enjoying the LAST weekend of the summer, one would think Shad-Fack would be a ghost town. But its actually been a bit busy. Students are looking for books. Others are requesting items we don't own, or that are currently checked-out through E-Z Borrow, and there's LOTS of printing.

The Library is buzzing with activity!

RENEWAL



Renewal can means so much, from the anticipation and excitement of a new school term, to the renewed sense of purpose in a simple library blog.

It is hoped that this post might mark the start of something new & interesting for What (was) New, and that informative bits are offered, library musings are shared, and people read and comment.

RENEWAL!
