Printing in Colgate University Libraries

To reduce paper waste and to help patrons better manage their print jobs, Colgate University Libraries and Information Techology Services have implemented print release stations.  Print jobs from computers in the Libraries will go to a print release station rather than directly to the printer. Print jobs are limited to 10 copies and a total of not more than 100 pages to prevent excessive accidental printing.

All users should review the Colgate University Libraries Printing Policy.

Colgate University users must login using their Colgate username & password.

Visitors must use designated workstations in the reference areas of Case-Geyer or Cooley Science Library

• They will need to get special Visitor Printing Cards from the Circulation Desks of either library prior to printing.
• Currently, there is no charge to receive the Visitor Printing Card.
• Frequent guest users may keep the card issued and use it on return visits.
• Visitors who have a temporary need to print are asked to return the print card after use so it might be reused in the future. An ID (not a credit card or social security card) must be left on deposit which will be returned in exchange for the Visitor Printing Card.
• Users who do not need to print will not need a card to access library resources.

Please direct comments or questions to the Reference Desk on Level 3 or to the “Ask a Librarian” service.
