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.
- Next to each printer or copier is a release station where you can swipe your BruinCard to pay for it.
