midnight Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and
noon to midnight on Sunday. Special hours during vacation periods and holidays are

requests are accepted by phone, mail, e-mail or in person. A variety of medical,
biological, scientific, educational, and informational online databases and Web sites,
including the National Library of Medicine databases, are available to access through the
Library Web site.
The Library provides photocopying capabilities at the nominal charge of five cents a
copy. All photocopying in the Library is subject to the provisions of the U.S. Copyright
Law (Title 17 U.S. Code). The Library does not give change for the use of the photocopy
machine. Students are required to have exact change to use the copier (nickels, dimes,
quarters, dollar bills).
The GoPrint system allows each student 2,000 free copies of printing per academic
year. If the allotment is not used, it will not carry over into the next academic year. After
the allowed amount has been used, there is a charge of eight cents per page regardless of
whether one side or two sides are used. Extra GoPrint cards may be purchased at the
Revalue Station located near the printers. The Revalue Station cards must be purchased
with a single dollar bill, as the Revalue Station can only accept paper currency. Each card
costs $1 and will have a credit of 50 cents. Once the card has been purchased, it can be
used multiple times to purchase additional printing for any amount. Cards are treated
like cash. The cardholder may use it at any GoPrint Pay/Release Station.
