Printing and Copying


Printing: Printing, including color printing, is provided in the following library computing clusters:

  • The Rockefeller Library Computing Cluster is located on the first floor in the Sorenson Family Reading Room.
  • The Sciences Library Public Computing Cluster is located on Level A and the Mezzanine level.
  • The Orwig Music Library Computing Cluster is located in room 106 - the Reference Room (black and white printing only).

All students can send documents from a cluster computer, their residence hall rooms, or from a wireless connection using the Virtual Private Network (VPN) client to the MyPrint queue, then release them for printing at release stations next to the printers. All students are given $30 on their Brown ID for printing at the beginning of the fall semester. Once the $30 is used, students should use their own funds on their Brown ID to pay for printing.

  • Rockefeller Library: Photocopying is available for Brown ID holders from the multifunction printer/scanner/copiers in the Sorensen Family Reading Room on the first floor.
    Photocopying is not available for guests.
  • Sciences Library: Photocopiers are located on Level A in the Friedman Center.
