Good Luck to James

Just a reminder that James is a finalist for the Support Staff of the Year at the Gala Awards on Friday June 6th. All Library users and staff are hoping his hard work, patience, depth of knowledge and great sense of humour will be acknowledged and rewarded.

Printing in the Library

Frequent Library users will be aware that you can now print to the photocopier. The advantages for you are

• Colour printing available but you need to select this by: File > Print > select Properites > click on the "paw" to change it to colour. Then OK this. If your document has mixed colour and black & white (b&w) pages then it will charge you colour rate for those with colour and b&w rate for the others

• When you click OK to print it will come up with a screen that shows the amount the copy will cost and a code. Note both down and take it to the photocopier - follow the instructions on the wall by the photocopier to print. This means that you can not accidentally print out a 100 pages! If it comes to £5 and you only wanted a page you just leave it and have another go.

• As you become an advanced user you will note you can do A3 printing, make booklets, double sided printing and even add easy watermarks.

• Out of hours printing will be available in the near future.
