Printing & Copying

Photocopy machines and laser printers are located in every library. Color printers are available in Alderman Library (3rd floor), Clemons Library (4th floor), Brown Science & Engineering Library (main floor), and the Fine Arts Library. Ask at any library service desk for specific locations.

Duplexing (double-sided) printing is now available in Alderman (4th floor and Scholars' Lab), Brown Science & Engineering, and Clemons. To select double-sided printing:

Select "Print"
Click "Properties" or "Preferences" (depending on your application)
Select the "Layout" tab
Click "Flip on Long Edge"

Cavalier Advantage cards are needed for all printing and copying. U.Va. and non-UVA community members can purchase a Cavalier Advantage card or add money to it at the vending machines located on the main floors in Alderman, Clemons, Fine Arts, and Brown Science and Engineering libraries. Make a deposit to your Cavalier Advantage card online or via phone or mail.

Additionally, Printing & Copying Services, located on the 1st floor of Alderman, can often print quantities at a reduced rate.

Need to print quickly? Clemons Library has four "express" workstations with a 10 minute limit, so one will always be available for printing out a paper in a hurry.

The Digital Media Lab provides access to scanners that digitize slides, 35mm film, music, and video.

The Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library provides training on image digitization and access to scanners, as well as assistance with digital reserve preparation.

The Music Library processes requests for the digitization of music for Electronic Listening Assignment delivery through Toolkit.

Digitization Services (924-4735) in the Harrison Institute and Small Special Collections Library will scan materials from Special Collections for researchers.

Digitization Guidelines are available, which provide guidance and minimum recommendations for the digitization of images, texts, and data that are in line with the U.Va. Library's current practice for faculty who wish to donate digital materials for inclusion in the Library's digital collections.

ITC also offers scanners and training.
