Printing

Printing is available for a fee and scanning is available free of charge. Here's how to print and scan at the Library.

Where / How to Print

Printing within the Decker Library is available from any computer workstation on the upper or lower level (or from your device - see instructions below).

To print, send your document to Print from any Library computer. On the lower level, there is a touch screen next to the photocopier. "Release" your print by selecting the job and swiping your MICA ID card. Your print(s) are released by the printer on the lower level of the Library. If you need assistance, please let anyone at either service desk (Research Help desk on the lower level or Access Services desk on the upper level) know.
