New public and staff-use photocopiers were installed in the Daley Library, LHS-Chicago, and the Science Library during July. The Library continues to lease the copiers through the campus Publications Services.

Circulation staff will clear paper jams, replenish paper, and change toner cartridges. Library patrons can ask for assistance with the copiers, printers, or copy card vending/add value machines at the Circulation desk. The copy center office (room 1-448) will no longer be staffed.
