ATTENTION: UD Students, Faculty and Staff - Add value to your UD #1 FLEX card with the Value Transfer Station on the Lower Level rather than purchase Copy Cards!

Photocopiers and VendPrint Release Stations (Printers) throughout the Library use UD#1 ID cards (UNIVERSITY of DELAWARE ID cards) and new Library copy cards.

Users without UD ID cards, please purchase and use the new style of copy cards for photocopying and printing. New copy cards are available at the service desk on the Lower Level or from Copy Card dispensers located near the Circulation Desk on the first floor and near the south elevator on the second floor.
You must have five, $1 bills or a $5.00 bill to purchase a card from a dispenser. The cost of the card is $1.00 and $4.00 is the initial value on the card. Receipts are available for any card purchase or deposit of money.

Coins may be used to add value at the Student Multimedia Design Center service desk.

For instance if you are printing a poster that is 32" X 48", the cost is $20.
