This credit was marked as Not Pursuing so Reporting Fields will not be displayed.

The Library and Media Center student workers launch a 'Ponder Before Printing' awareness campaign once a semester to discourage student printing on campus. PDF markup software is offered, printing tips and alternative ink-efficient fonts are promoted, and professors are asked to consider fewer printed assignments or readings.
Finally, the Library has a printing tracking system that, in addition to providing use data, limits student print jobs to two at a time to discourage mass printing.
