Options for Self-Service Printing, Copying, and Scanning

Visitor BruinCards

Library visitors can purchase a visitor BruinCard at the BruinCard machines in all major libraries. The cost is fifty-eight cents and the machines accept cash only. The cards are reusable, and value can be added to them at any library or campus BruinCard machine. Visitor BruinCards can also be used for purchases at campus locations and more than twenty businesses in Westwood that accept the BruinCard. However, refunds cannot be issued for any money left on a visitor BruinCard when the user is finished.

Library Printers and Copiers with BruinCard Release Stations

  • Black-and-white printers, copiers, and microform copiers are available in all libraries.
  • Print jobs sent from library computers are automatically sent to all library printers in the building, but won't print until you pay. (CLICC laptops default to the building you checked it out from.)
  • Next to each printer or copier is a release station where you can swipe your BruinCard to pay for it.

See Copy/Print Fees and Rates.

BruinPrint/wepa Kiosks

  • BruinPrint/wepa Kiosks, provided in partnership with ASUCLA, provide both black-and-white and color printing.
  • Files can be on a USB drive or uploaded to www.bruinprint.com. (There are also apps to send files direct from your computer or mobile device.)
  • Payment can be made through an online account, BruinCard, or credit card.*

See Copy/Print Fees and Rates.

Library Scanners

  • Free flatbed scanners available in the Arts Library, Biomedical Library, Research Library, and Science and Engineering Library (both Boelter and Geology locations).
  • The Arts Library also has a large format overhead scanner.
  • All scanners will e-mail files.

CLICC Printers and Scanners (UCLA students, faculty, and staff only)

  • The CLICC Lab and Classrooms in Powell have both black-and-white and color printers.
  • They use the same BruinCard release stations as the general library printers.
  • There are also four free scanners available.
