Photocopying & Printing at the Medical Library

The Medical Library uses COPICO as its vendor for photocopy and print management. All patrons wishing to print or copy in the library and Computer Resource Laboratory (CRL) will need a COPICO Card. COPICO card readers on photocopiers and printing paystations will deduct $0.07 per page from the value of patrons' cards.

Photocopier Locations

The Medical Library has 8 photocopiers available for patron use, including one ADA compliant photocopier and one color photocopier, which are both located in the rear of the Morse Reading Room on the main level.

Six black and white photocopiers are found on Lower Level I in the journal stacks. Three copiers are conveniently located adjacent to where journal titles A-C are shelved, and three more where journal titles J-Z are shelved.


Purchasing COPICO Cards

COPICO Cards may be purchased from card dispensers in the library. One is located in the Information Room, another in the Computer Resource Lab (CRL), and four more in the center of the journal stacks on Lower Level 1.  Most dispensers require $1.00 bills to purchase cards. These cards are valued at $0.60, since a $0.40 charge is applied for the reusable card when it is initially purchased. COPICO cards can be revalued in $1, $5, $10 or $20 increments at the same vending machines.

Alternatively, $40.00 COPICO cards may be purchased at the library's Circulation Desk:

  • By using a Request for Services Form using a grant or department (PATEO) number and presenting a valid University ID;
  • By charging the $40.00 card to a grant or department by presenting a valid University ID card and a valid Stock Room Card;
  • With a personal check and a valid driver's license.
  • Or with a Visa or MasterCard.

Medical, Physician Associate, and first-year BBS students may pick up a COPICO card for personal use at the Medical Library Circulation Desk. Please remember that each student is allotted three cards annually (one card given at a time, 600 copies total) plus Medical and PA students receive two additional cards in the year the student writes a thesis.

Revaluing Photocopy Cards

You may revalue a COPICO card at any COPICO vending machine.
