Submitting Your Chemistry Poster Request

Current hours of operation and available printing times can be viewed on the calendar. Minimum 2-day advanced notice is required. Printing is not available everyday, especially during summer and winter breaks, so plan ahead and view the calendar in advance. The UMass Library or Amherst Copy might be able to accommodate short notice requests, contact them for details.

  • The booking system requires users login with their LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) accounts, please contact the Chemistry/BMB departmental IT team for assistance with these accounts.
  • Poster submission forms can be completed the day of the request, but we strongly encourage printing appointments be reserved as far in advance as possible in the booking system for optimal planning.
     

Format and Specifications

  • When creating your PDF be sure the page size is set to the actual size to avoid issues with scaling. Make sure you retain access to the native file in case you need to re-export.
