[LIBRARYDIR] Computing printing

[Fuhrman, Tim]

We have Papercut here at BBCC so community users can set up their own accounts and add money for printing.  WE LOVE IT!!! 
All users can add funds to their account using a machine here in the library if they have cash or can use credit or debit at the Business Office, bring us a receipt, and we can go into the system and add funds manually.

Students $15 free on their accounts each quarter.

We have a cash drawer but hardly ever use it.  Mainly to break $20s for folks.  We make the student ID cards here since we are the only campus office open in the evenings so we take in $ for replacement cards, and once in a blue moon fines and fees for damaged or lost library items.

Erica,

Whatcom CC has four community use computers in the library and they only have access to the WWW and library resources, with no printing capacity -- read only (if you will).

Nor do we have any protocols to set up any kind of generic account.

Thanks
Howard

Hello all,

If you have community using your computers, how do you provide printing?  We have been selling printer points in the Library but we won't be able to keep our cash register/cash fund after this quarter so we are trying to come up with alternatives.  We can send them to the cashier, but they are not open the same hours as the Library so this will mainly impact those coming in during evening and weekend hours.  We have a generic printing account so we may be able to use this, but would need to set up some parameters so people don't take advantage of this.  If you have protocols for a generic account, those would be useful also.

Thanks,
Erica
