About
making copies
Materials
for your courses should be prepared in advance so copies can be made
by Copy Services. A departmental assistant or student worker may do
the leg work for you. If you are really desparate and need less than
25 copies of something, there are copy machines in each classroom
building, three in the library, and one in the Cate Center. Check
with your department head about being issued a departmental Camcard
to use in these machines. Your department is charged for each copy
made on these machines and the cost per copy is two to three times
what Copy Services charges. If you need quality copies, color, collating,
etc., but have only an hour or so to spare, Copy Services can usually
provide "quick copying" for a significant charge. For more
information, contact Kevin Walker (760-8677)
