Use Policy

As of July 1, 2014 only printing requests from members of the Chemistry Department community will be accommodated-this includes BMB, CBI, BTP, and iCons. Please do not ask on behalf of others. No printing outside of the College of Natural Science is allowed. This is a matter of University policy. Please use the Library poster printing services. No self-serve printing will be authorized. Please check in the ISB 341 if you have any questions. To get a poster printed, please use the Chembooking system to sign up for a printing time. Please book 15 minute time slots per posters. Do not book two poster in one time slot. The requester will need to provide a PDF formatted file. If you are asking for a poster that is associated with a meeting for which you anticipate others will be requesting posters, then it is better to give at least one week notice. If a big rush of jobs comes in at any time, and it is not clear that all can be accommodated, those who are booked in the system will get preference over unscheduled walkins. We will commit to assisting those making requests to "fine-tune" their poster to satisfaction, where the fine-tuning is a matter of making the printer produce the desired output with acceptable quality. This means that the requester is expected not to make multiple requests for correction of errors or changes in content, without submitting a new request with consequent recharge. This is a matter of asking requesters to do their work on the computer to get what is desired **before** asking for printout.
