Printing and Copying

Printing

Printing is available in the following library computing clusters:

  • The Rockefeller Library Computing Clusters on the first floor in the Sorenson Reading Room and second floor in the Werning Graduate Space.
  • The Sciences Library Public Computing Cluster on Level A and the Mezzanine level.
  • The John Hay Library lounge on the first floor.
  • The Orwig Music Library on the first floor.

It is recommended that students use the new www.brown.edu/go/print to print files, no setup required. All students can send documents from a cluster computer, their personal computer, their residence hall rooms, or from a wireless connection using the Virtual Private Network (VPN) client, to the PAW (People Against Waste) Prints queue and release them for printing at release stations next to printers located throughout campus. All students are given $30 in printing at the beginning of the fall semester. Once the value is used on their Brown ID, students can use the vending stripe on their Brown ID to pay for printing.

Photocopying/Scanning

  • Rock: A self-service photocopier is on level 2. A book scanner is on level 2.
  • Sciences: One copier on level A.
  • Orwig: One copier in the reference room.
  • Library users are responsible for ensuring that copying complies with U.S. copyright laws. Printing more than 10 percent of any book, online or print, is a copyright violation. ebrary allows you to print one page at a time up to ten pages, and 40 pages only during one browser session.
  • Transactions are card-based; release stations show a combined balance of PawPrints funds and Bear Bucks.
  • The John Hay Library will provide reproductions of Special Collections materials to the extent that physical condition and copyright or other legal restrictions apply. See John Hay Library Reproduction Services for more specific information and current fee schedules.
