Important Printing Instructions

Follow directions for printing from Gale. View text size, and choose “smaller." Use the print icon on the document rather than print from the browser bar or the “file, print” menu command.

Photocopying

At the beginning of your research, I strongly advise purchasing a roll of quarters ($10.00). You will need it for the photocopier. If you use any Reference or Reserve items at the photocopier, please bring the reserve items back to the cart or re-shelve the reference items.
