Printing:
The majority of library computers are able to print via our Uniprint software. The machines that are unable to print are the kiosk computers located by the 1st floor circulation desk and the machines in the stacks on the 2nd and 3rd floors. When a patron submits a request to print, they will be prompted to name the print job. They can then go to the print desk and retrieve the printed article. Each page costs $ .10 and we accept cash and Ole Miss Express. Patrons are also able to use laptops and notebooks to connect to the library wireless network and submit a print job. A step by step guide is available here.
