Colgate University Libraries News and Events

To reduce paper waste and to help patrons better manage their print jobs, Colgate University Libraries and Information Technology Services have implemented PaperCut print release stations in Case Library and Geyer Center for Information Technology and in Cooley Science Library in McGregory Hall.  Print jobs from computers in the Libraries will go to a print release station rather than directly to the printer. Each print job is limited to 2 copies and 100 pages to prevent excessive accidental printing. 

All users should review the Colgate University Libraries Printing Policy.  As of fall 2009, there is no limit to the number of print jobs or total number of pages printed for Colgate students, faculty, or staff and there is no charge for printing.  Printing and print jobs recycled will be closely monitored, however. 

In Case-Geyer, print release stations are located on level three adjacent to the hexagonal public access computer cluster on either side of the reference desk or in the Picker Classroom 345 and, on level five, on the serpentine computing cluster and in the Cronin Classroom 501.  In Cooley Science Library, print release stations are located in the reference area.
 
Colgate University users must login to public access computers using their Colgate username and password.  Select the printer at your workstation through the usual print dialog.  Go to the print release station and swipe your CU IDs or enter your Colgate username and password to "Print" wanted print jobs or "Cancel" duplicate or unnecessary jobs.  Unwanted print jobs are automatically deleted after two hours. 

Visitors should use public access computers on the hexagonal clusters adjacent to the reference desk on level three in Case-Geyer or in the Cooley Science Library.  You will need to get a special Visitor Printing Card from the Circulation Desk at either library prior to printing. Currently, there is no charge to borrow the Visitor Printing Card, but an ID (not a credit card or social security card) must be left on deposit which will be returned in exchange for the Visitor Printing Card.  Arrangements may be made for frequent guest users who regularly need to print to be issued a card that they may keep and use on return visits. 

Log onto the computer using the account and password posted at the computer. A secondary "PaperCut" login box will appear.  Log in again using the username and password provided on the Visitor Printing Card.  After you execute the print command, note the pop-up balloon in the screen's bottom right corner which indicates your print job has been sent to a release station queue.  You may queue up repeated print jobs prior to releasing them at the station. Please wait until Colgate students, faculty, and staff have released their print jobs before printing yours.  Swiping the Visitor Printing Card or entering the username and ID at the release station will locate your unique jobs which may then be reviewed and approved for printing.  Please log out of the computer to avoid the next patron printing against the Visiting Printing Card account. 

Visitors should review the Colgate University Libraries VISITORS' GUIDE. 

Visitors who do not need to print will not need a card to access library resources.

Please direct comments or questions to the Reference Desk on Level 3 or to the "Ask a Librarian" service.

Shakespeare Survey now available online back to 1948.
Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948 Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism.
Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of that year's textual and critical studies, and of the year's major British performances. The virtues of accessible scholarship and a keen interest in performance, from Shakespeare's time to our own, have characterised the journal from the start.
The books are illustrated with a variety of Shakespearean images and production photographs.
Shakespeare Survey Online makes all issues of the Survey  available online for the first time.
