Double Sided Printing

Comment from a Wascana Student: You have got to let people know about the option of printing on both sides in your computer labs (under properties, then finishing in the print screen). I went a whole year printing on only one side! It saves paper and we have twice as much room in our binders.  And can you update the ones in the main area so they have this option? Make this info part of your library orientations and presentations!

Thanks for your comments, it’s great that you are thinking about saving paper. The library is also trying to save as much paper as we can because we care about our environmental impact. We recently began our “one-side-good” paper reuse program and we also increased the amount of paper recycling bins throughout the library.

You should have probably noticed that there have been some changes with the printing in the library over the past week as well, as the main printer has been shifted to the photocopier.  It’s capable of doing double-sided printing and we’ll be advertising this fact in the near future!

Wascana Hours Among Others

Comment from a Wascana student: I would prefer if the library was open until 11:00 PM.  Also, extended hours during finals.  Also provide snacks and juice (rum preferable) during finals – need to take the edge off!!

Thanks for your comment! We are constantly evaluating our hours to ensure they are meeting the needs of our students, this resulted in the library being open late on Sundays throughout the school year.  We’ll discuss your suggestion at an upcoming staff meeting.

We usually provide students with coffee one day during finals (however it goes pretty fast) we’ll see about adding juice for next time.  I doubt if you (or anyone else) would get much studying done though if the library were giving out free mixed drinks!
