New copy machines work with Cardinal Card

Friday, January 16th, 2009 by Jonathan Smith

The University Libraries have received new copy machines. These new machines will use Cardinal Cash from your Cardinal Card or new copy cards that are now available. For a limited time, we will run the old copiers alongside the new copies where space permits. The old copy cards will continue to work on the old copy machines only.

Anyone with a Cardinal Card should be able to add value to their Cardinal Cash account using a credit card at the Cardinal Card website. First select “Manage Your Cardinal Card Account”, then select “Manage Your Account Online”. From there you should be able to log in and add value.

You can also add funds to your Cardinal Card at vending machines located in Mullen Library and the Music Library. These vending machines will also issue copy cards for visitors.

Please be aware that the new copy machines use a new type of copy card. Copy cards you had previously purchased will not work with the new machines. It is for this reason that we will continue to run some of the old copy machines for a limited time.

If you have questions or problems regarding the transition, please stop by the Information Desk on the first floor.

Thanks for you patience and cooperation!
