All photocopiers and microfiche printers in the library take vendacards, not money. Your University ID card functions as a vendacard. If you do not have your University ID, you can purchase a vendacard at the library circulation desk for 60 cents.
Your University ID card or your vendacard start with a zero balance. Copies are 10 cents each. You can add any dollar amount to your card at the library circulation desk.
No refunds are made for the unused balance on your card.
