The printers and color copier located in Thrift Library can only be used by current AU students, faculty, and staff. The machines are self-service and print on standard 8.5 x 11 white copy paper. The library is not equipped to facilitate special print jobs.* Please do not attempt to change the type or size of paper in the machines.
Printing in Thrift Library requires use of your Anderson University username and password.
Every AU student is given a print allowance of $20 per semester (does not "carry over") for usage on the university-provided printers located in the library. Printing is charged at the rate of $0.05 per B/W side and $0.35 per color side. Patrons will be alerted when their print account reach the five-dollar mark too add more print funds.
While some departments/majors have free printing, there is no free printing in Thrift Library. Please check with your department for clarification regarding free printing.
If students need to print more than their allowance will cover or add money, they can go to AU Central (located on the ground floor of the Thrift Library building) and add money to their print balance. Money added to the print balance will be carried over from semester to semester and will only be used once the semester allotment is consumed.
Let the Thrift Library Front Desk personnel know if the copier/printers jams, prints incorrectly, runs out of ink, or need more paper.
