Printing from Computers

The Library offers 40 desktop PCs with black and white printing capability. LSUS students are allotted 100 prints per semester in the library (additional pages are available in the campus-wide lab and the Student Success Center).  

Tips for Successful Printing

  • Double-check your work using print preview to be sure your work will print in the correct format.
  • Always make a test print if you are printing multiple copies of an item; the library will only issue refunds on the first page of a multi-page print job unless the error was caused by the printer.
  • The library is not responsible for erroneous copies if the document could be corrected by the user or library staff after running a test page.
  • Refunds for workstation prints will only be given after it is determined that the error is machine related.

Scanning

The library has 3 book scanners for student and faculty use located on the first and second floors of the library. 

  • Save in several formats including: PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, even MP3 (audio)
  • Send scanned documents to your e-mail or the cloud
  • Scan large books for research
  • Edit scanned pages before saving
  • Copy two face-up, full-color pages with a single touch

Large-Format Printing

Noel Memorial Library provides students, faculty, and staff access to a wide-format poster printer. Order your prints in person at the circulation desk any time the library is open.

We recommend using one of our templates to ensure your poster is formatted to the correct size. Please use the provided templates as a reference, but DO NOT use them as your actual submission. Templates can be found here.

Printing is available on 1 type of paper:

  • Heavyweight Coated- Insta-Dry capability. Ideal for rich, color-accurate prints, working comps, and design proofs.

Placing and Picking Up Orders

Bring your file as a PDF on a USB drive in person to the circulation desk any time the library is open or send your file as an attachment to libcircdesk@lsus.edu. When placing your order, please indicate the size, paper, and number of copies you would like. Payment is required at the time the order is placed.

You will be notified by e-mail when your prints are ready. Visit the circulation desk to pick up your prints. 

Please allow up to 3 business days for processing and printing your requests, especially at busy times during the semester. Orders submitted after 7 p.m. will be processed the following business day. Large orders will require more time to process and print. Please contact the library for more information on placing large orders.

Additional Considerations and Policies

  • Please allow at least 3 business days to process and print your order. Large orders will require more time to process and print. Please contact the library for more information on placing large orders.
  • The files received are printed as-is. The library does not provide additional formatting, editing, or resizing. This must be done by you prior to submission. Please check your file carefully, the library does not offer refunds on completed prints.
  • Files/images should be sized at the same size of the final poster to prevent pixilation problems. For example, if you are printing a 24”x36” poster, the file should be 24”x36”. Be sure to view your file at actual size or 100% to ensure images are clear and readable.
  • We are only able to print the following file types: JPG, JPEG, PNG.
  • If you require assistance resizing or saving your poster in the correct format, please see on-site personnel.
  • Poster printing is not currently offered to public patrons or Alumni.
  • Our printers use specific paper; this will be supplied by the library. We will not print posters on paper supplied by patrons.
