Changes to copiers and change machine

The following is a message regarding changes in May 2013.
No more change machines in the main library system.
Gerstein had its 7 copiers reduced to 4.
Our Loan Desk no longer provides change for any reason.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We now have a total of 4 photocopiers in Gerstein.  Three are located on the corridor outside Resource Sharing and one is in Short Term Loan.  The copiers on 2 below and level 3 of the journal stacks have been removed.

Two can be used for scanning, one is in Short Term Loan and the other is the first in line in the corridor outside Resource Sharing.

One copier is coin operated.  It is in the middle of the group of three.

Please remember that we do not provide change for copying purposes.

Public Photocopiers - Double-sided copying.
It is possible to do this but it is awkward and more likely to produce a jam.

Putting a piece of paper through a copier twice is more likely to cause a jam when the paper has just come out. I think this is because of the tremendous amount of heat used to bond the ink to the paper and the resulting curl on the paper. So if the page is not nice and flat like a fresh piece...it doesn't go through the copier as well.

To do double-sided, there is a feeder tray on the right side of the machine. It is folded up, so must first be pulled out and down to open it.
The risk here is, the user has no way on knowing 'how' they must place the sheet in the feeder so the copies will come out on the correct side or position on the paper. So tell them they can do it if they don't mind wasting a few copies on 'experimenting' with how to position the paper.
