How to Print

Add Money to ID Card:

  1. To add money into your card, insert card and remove.
  2. Then insert $1 or $5 into the NetLink Loader machine.
  3. To print a receipt, press “c.” Otherwise press “clear.”

Note: The black NetLink Loader or Add Value station does not give change. The library does not change for large bills ($10 or higher). You must bring exact change.

If you are a visitor, alumni or non-Alliant user, purchase a $2.00 non-refundable card from the NetLink Loader machine and add money to the card. Following instructions above for adding money. Keep the card for future printing or return it to library staff for recycling.

Additional Add Value stations: In San Diego, they are at the Daley Hall computer labs and Student Business Services in M-2 (during business hours).

EF students and guests:

 

  • Purchase a copy card to print or copy. A minimum of three dollars is needed. $2.00 for the blank card and $1 to add to the card.
  • Before you print from the Library computers, "save as" and name any untitled documents to desktop if you don't have a USB drive and you are not printing from the Internet. This will help you identify which documents are yours within the guest or efstudent login.
