Policy on Copying



The School of Education Copy Room was established to provide copying sources and services for Departments and Centers.   Student workers are available to fill copy requests.  The Ricoh copier is available for secretaries to use.  The Gestetner copier is to be used by student workers and should not be used by anyone else without prior approval from Kathryn Kale, Dana Bishop, or Liz Meeks.

Work study students are available during certain hours during the week to complete copying requests.  Requests must be in three days prior to the deadline in order to be completed in time. Copy request forms are located in the copy room.  They should be filled out in detail, signed by the Department Chair (or Principal Investigator if a grant) for approval, paper clipped with the document(s) to be copied, and placed in the copy request box located in Kathryn Kale's Office, Curry 326.  In the event of circumstances beyond control such as copier failure and/or breakdown, requests may be delayed.

In addition to the copy request service, the Ricoh copier is available for the use of Department Secretaries, Dean's Suite Secretaries, and their graduate assistants.  The autotrons used to operate the Ricoh are located in Kathryn Kale's office in Curry 326.

Additional guidelines related to copying follow.

Department and University Communications

To the extent possible, as much transmission of information between offices in the School, on campus and outside the university should be transferred to electronic mediums (postage and telephone expenses will also be saved).  This is feasible since all faculty in the School have computers and are currently on the net.  Some Departments have already moved in this direction.
 

Copying for Class/Instruction/Research/Administration:

Administrative offices, faculty and department heads should be encouraged to oversee their copying resources carefully and to ask whether every handout is necessary or whether the information could be communicated in some other form.

When large quantities of handouts are provided to students, departments should encourage these of the University Bookstore to reproduce those materials and should ask the student to bear the cost of those materials.

Externally funded projects must use funds provided by those grants or those allocated to the sponsoring department.

Copies should utilize both sides of the paper and should use reduced font sizes when possible.  If possible, used paper should be reused.
