The library has several printers that are available for general academic use – students are encouraged to print to one of these printers using the available tabloid (11″ x 17″) paper, if they want a large format printout for a classroom project:

• • Xerox B/W
  • Xerox Color

There are also several specialized printers that are available for approved projects – because there are limited printing supplies and also because these printers require specific file sizes (dots per inch) and types at the point a project is being created:

Examples of approved projects:
• IMSAloquium posters
• Faculty/staff and student conference poster presentations
• Project work, such as:

1. Independent Study
2. Framed art and scientific posters from conferences
3. Exemplary classroom projects – for temporary display
