Access to Computers
The Library has many computers available throughout the Library for research purposes (such as searching the Library Catalog, using Library databases, etc.). These computers also have Microsoft Word installed for your use.
Some additional computing facilities are located within the Library, most noteably the Maclab in the Regenstein Library and USITE computer clusters in the Crerar, Harper, and Regenstein Libraries. The USITE clusters have additional sofware (SPSS, Photoshop, PowerPoint, etc.), many programs which are not installed on the Library's public computers. These computers require you to log-in with your CNET ID.
The Library also provides wireless and ethernet network connections for laptop computers. These also require a current CNET ID.

Printing
Each campus Library, with the exception of the D'Angelo Law Library, has one or more networked laser print stations. You can print from any of the Library workstations to one of the networked print stations on each floor.
There is a fee for printing. Black and white printing is $0.10/page. Color laser printing, available on the 1st floor of Crerar and Regenstein libraries, is $0.50/page.
To use the network printers, you must have a copy card. Laboratory school faculty may purchase $50 copy cards using a valid Z or K form (you must bring a printed receipt from the online transaction). You can purchase these cards through the Copico Office (the Library's vendor for printing and photocopying service) or from the ID & Privileges Office when Copico is closed. You can also add money to your Chicago Card and use this for printing and photocopying. Receipts are available only when you add money by credit/debit card
When you are ready to print a document from the computer, you will notice that a dialog box will appear on the screen. Type in a name for the document. Then visit a network printing station and place your copy card or Library Card in the card reader. All of the current print jobs will display on a computer next to the printer. Select the job you would like to print and the printer will tell you the cost. Then just click "Print".
Photocopying
Black and white photocopiers are located in all of the libraries at the University of Chicago. The cost is $0.12/per page using a copy/Chicago Card, or $0.15/page without.
