Copyright/Responsible Use
Users are responsible for compliance with all applicable copyright laws and Tufts University’s Responsible Use Policy regarding scanning, printing and copying.

Printing
Most computers in the library print to self-service laser print stations on the floor where they are located:

  • 4th floor – black & white printing
  • 5th floor – color and black & white printing

Black & white prints are $.10 per page; color prints are $.30 per page. Printers operate only with copycards, not with coin or bills.

Print from your Personal Laptop to HHSL printers. If you have XP Professional, you can print directly to our printers using a small program. Stop by the Computer Support Desk, 5th floor for details.


Copying
Self-service photocopiers are located on all floors of the library. Black and white copies are $.10 per page; color copies are $.50 per 8 1/2x11 inch page and $1.00 per 11x14 inch page. Double-sided photocopying is possible on at least one machine on each floor. Please ask at the InfoCirc desk if you need assistance. Machines are operated by coin or copycards; some have bill acceptors for $1 and $5 bills as well.

Copycards
Cards for cash are available at the card dispensers on the 4th and 5th floors. A $1 bill is needed to get a card initially – the card will have $.60 in value; $.40 is the cost of the card. The card can then be placed back in the dispenser, and $1, $5, $10, $20 (bills only) can be added to the value on the card. There are discounts offered when $10 or $20 is placed on the card. Receipts are not available. There are no refunds for unused balances on copycards.

Cards can be purchased by check or requisition. Please call us at 617.636.6706 for more information. Cards are available in the following denominations:
