In the fall of 1997, there will be a charge to undergraduate students
for printing services provided by the printers located in the computer
labs and the Operations area of the Steacie Science Library. The print
charge will apply to printing in the labs located in rooms 014,
021(Glade), T128, T107, T107A as well as any other facility that may use
the central CCS printers, such as the Maxwell lab, Phoenix or the Email
servers.  The implementation of a print chargeback within Steacie will
bring the service in line with other labs on campus and will encourage
the responsible use of resources.   The revenue collected from the
printing will be in support of paper, maintenance and printer purchases.

The university has had success in the use of the photocopy cash card in
the Library.  It is convenient and easy to use and provides a viable
solution for the Steacie printing chargeback.  CCS is currently testing
the cash card.  Throughout the test phase, students will not incur
printing charges.  Once the test period is complete, the per page charge
will likely be set at .10 cents.
