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.
