Making Copies

Writing Program Office, 205 Coleman-Morse-- Bridgett Kent can give you a tour of the copier so that you can run small jobs, including transparencies, independently in the office.

Design, Copy & Logistics (DCL) Services, 301 O'Shaughnessy-- For 10 pages or more or text, please use E-Reserves or, if paper is necessary, go to DCL Services in O'Shaughnessy.  Big jobs tend to jam the CoMo machine.  Each instructor is allowed up to $25 per semester of copying costs at DCL.
