Sound on public workstations
Several students have reported that they aren’t able to get sound on public computers in Redpath and McLennan. Charles says that this is a known issue on the Dell 745 machines. He is trying to push out updates that will resolve the issue. If students report the problem, they can try rebooting the computer. If it still doesn’t work, they should look for a HP computer.
Charles hopes to have the issue resolved during the week of September 5.

New machines for guest photocopying
The Xerox technicians have set up the black and white Xerox devices on the main floor of McLennan and Redpath Room 17 so that Walk-in cards can be used on them as well as the 6400 devices. This addition to the machines will NOT be installed on the Cybertheque or Redpath Info-Commons machines.

PROCEDURE TO HELP MCGILL FACULTY MEMBERS WITH PHOTOCOPYING AND SCANNING
PROCEDURE TO HELP MCGILL FACULTY MEMBERS WITH PHOTOCOPYING AND SCANNING
1.McGill professors who need to photocopy materials should be given a $2 card, if they don’t have one. These cards are a courtesy from the library to our faculty members until uPrint is available.
Because we need to report the usage, the form below will be created on the desktop of the computer in the center of the desk, with the name uPrint.
The User IDs will be entered when the cards are received. The file should be kept closed when no transaction is being recorded.
When we give out a card to a professor, we open the file, write down her/his name and the short date in the line corresponding to the ID number. Then we save the file and close it to prevent accidental erasure of information.
The cards are in a diskette box in the locked drawer where the keys are.When there are 2 ID cards left, Anna should be ask for additional cards, whose numbers should be added to the form.
Anna will copy the file in the U: drive weekly for future reporting.
2. McGill Professors who want to scan and email will be provided an iD number/password so they can login to uPrint. This ID/password (which corresponds to a card with no balance left) will be printed in slips to hand out to them. Slips are in a plastic container.
Professors should be made aware of the alternative of using the Spirit scanner to scan and save in a USB key free of charge. There is a Spirit scanner in Blackader and very soon there will be one on the 2nd floor of McLennan and another in the copy room in Redpath 17
Note: this ID/password and Spirit scanner option can also be offered to visiting professors, as there is no charge involved.
