Photocopying Machines

Self-service photocopy machines are located in most Yale science libraries. The majority of machines in the science libraries, as well as in many other campus libraries excluding Law and Medical utilize the same company. CBS Bloom's is a company based in Connecticut and has been in business for over 20 years. They currently provide copy machines to many locations on campus. Comments on the effectiveness of the services are welcomed (see contact information below).

The machines will use the same type of copy cards and CBS Bloom's has agreed to accept your Copico cards until April 30, 2003.

Copy machine availability in the science libraries:

Kline Science Library six black and white copiers; document feeder; duplex printing
Chemistry Library two black and white copiers; document feeder; duplex printing
Engineering and Applied Science Library two black and white copiers
Forestry and Environmental Studies Library one black and white copier
Geology Library one black and white copier, not on central system, patrons must have change to operate this copier
Mathematics Library one black and whtie copier, not on central system, patrons must have change to operate this copier

The cost of copies is still 15 cents each but you can purchase cards which give you extra copies, thereby reducing the cost of each copy. The cards are as follows:

  • $1 = 15 cents/copy
  • $5 = 13 cents/copy
  • $10 = 10.5 cents/copy
  • $20 = 9.5 cents/copy
We will also continue to sell $20 and $40 cards to Yale Departments through accounting transfers and will need a department's charging instructions to do so. These cards can be purchased at the SML circulation desk, the Kline Library, the Engineering Library, the Chemistry Library, the Divinity Library, the Social Science Library and the Library Business Office.

Card readers will also be installed on the microfilm reader-printers. Those copies will continue to cost $.20 per copy.

If a machine needs service, you can call the number located on the front of each machine (800-648-4236), identify yourself, the Yale University Library, the location of the machine and the machine number (also located on the front of the machine begins with a B), and the problem.

We hope to make the transition as smooth as possible but we realize there might be some problems or questions. You can email Susan Jaffe at susan.jaffe@yale.edu or Debbie McGraw at deborah.mcgraw@yale.edu or you can call at 432-0586 with questions.

Yale readers who make use of photocopying facilities are expected to abide by the regulations of the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code). Any violations of the Copyright Law at self-service machines are the responsibility of the reader and are not the responsibility of the Yale University Library.

Comments may be sent to Deborah McGraw, Business Manager, Sterling Memorial Library.
