Did you know that you can do more than check out books and study at Plough Library? This week we'd like to tell you about how to print. Printing at Plough Library is free to do!
Step 1: Log into one of the computers located just to the left of the library's main entrance. Your login information is the same as your CBU email, without the “@cbu.edu”.
Step 2: Locate the document you would like to print. If it is something that can only be found on your personal device (laptop or tablet), we recommend transferring it via usb, through cloud storage such as OneDrive, or by emailing it to yourself so that it can be opened on the library's computer.
- We may one day be able to connect the printer to personal devices, but alas, it is not yet time.
Step 3: On the Print screen, make sure “FollowMe_Student” is selected as the printer. You can now click Print.
- Troubleshooting tip: Sometimes, the pesky printer doesn't want to connect to one of the computers. If “FollowMe_Student” isn't one of the options on the Print screen, we suggest logging into the next computer available and trying again.
Step 4: The printer is located just around the corner of the elevator, to the right of the main entrance. At the printer, tap your student ID card.
- If this is your first time printing, you can associate your card with the machine. Once your card is associated, all you need to do is tap your card to release your print job. A librarian can help you with this process. Otherwise, you will need to use the same log in information you used for the computer.
Step 5: Select the print jobs you want to print and click Print.
If all of this information has you looking like this:
Have no fear! There is a friendly, neighborhood librarian close by that can walk you through this process, step by step.
Most people associate university libraries with studying, textbooks, and printing. They would be right, but there is more to us than just academic texts!
At Plough Library, we have an area for what we deem ‘Popular Books’. Think: The Hunger Games, The Hate U Give, and The Song of Achilles. We have authors such as John Green, Colleen Hoover, N.K. Jemisin, and Julia Alvarez. The ‘Popular Books’ shelves are located on the main floor of the library to the left of the entrance, on the other side of the student computers.
There is a wide variety of books in this section. There are graphic novels, young adult books, mysteries, thrillers, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, contemporary fiction, non-fiction and more. We also have books in Spanish.
Look. We know you're busy. Who has time to read for fun when there are classes, homework, clubs, and sports practice to think about? Well, it might surprise you to learn that reading for fun has some actual benefits! According to George Mason University, recreational reading relieves stress, improves brain and cognitive development, and increases empathy.
If you're not sure where to start, one of your friendly, neighborhood Plough librarians would be happy to help recommend a book or two!
