K-State uses new technology in library to handle printing

Friday, October 9, 2009

No student ID card, no printing, no exceptions. Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kan. recently implemented a new printing policy in its library that forces students to use their ID cards when they send jobs to the library’s printers.

“If students did not have their student ID card then they were not able to print,” said Becky Gould, director of information technology assistant center. “From now on, students will have to bring their card if they want to print anything in the library, no exceptions.”


The library earlier this week combined the students’ declining balance accounts onto one magnetic stripe on the students’ ID cards.
