Black and white printing

Now available on the 4th floor – black and white printing.

Last year a color printer was purchased for the library for the fourth floor. We’ve now upgraded that printer to provide both black and white and color print outs.

To set black and white printing on the 4th floor color printer, follow these steps:

1. Select the 4th floor printer
On the Printing screen after selecting Color Printer
2. Click on Preferences
3. Click on the Color tab button
4. Check the box marked Print in Grayscale
5. Click “Print”

Black and white printing is 8 cents a page, color printing is 25 cents a page. More info.

Happy printing!

4th floor Color Printer

Color printing is now available on the 4th floor print station. Color printing costs 25 cents/page.

For now, black and white printing will be available on the 3rd floor, while color printing is available on the 4th floor.

In the near future, you will be able to print both black and white AND color on the new printer on the 4th floor.

EduRoam Available!

As of Feb. 1st, LSUHSC New Orleans is participating in EduRoam, a world-wide consortium of research and educational institutions.

Chancellor Hollier sent out an email on January 25th regarding this new initiative; he stated, “EduRoam is a secure, world-wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. EduRoam allows campus community members at any participating institution to use wireless network services at any other participating institution worldwide.” Our participation will make it easier for visiting students/researchers to use wireless access on campus, as well as allowing our researchers and students to have access as they travel. EduRoam is less than 2 years old and began in Europe. It is anticipated that membership will increas rapidly.

To use when you visit a participating educational/research institution:
ÔÇó Set up your computer to use a wireless network by selecting ÔÇ£eduroamÔÇØ from the list of available networks.
ÔÇó Logon as UserID@lsuhsc.edu, and give your current LSUHSC password.

EduRoam is a new iniative in the United States, but hopefully it will grow quickly. Check out their US map to see participating institutions.

Resource Guides are instructional tools to introduce users to basic information. If you think the Library should add a Resource Guide, please let us know.

Wireless & Passwords

If your LSUHSC password is ready to expire, it might be a safer bet to change it at a wired computer, rather than attempting to change it while connected (or attempting to connect) to the wireless. Because of individal computer caching issues, the new password does not always work perfectly. Passwords may be changed at any of the Library’s public PCs by accessing your LSUHSC webmail.

Mac wireless update

Did you know that LSUHSC-NO is a PC institution?

For Mac users, this can present a problem. At the moment, instructions are not available for configuring a Mac or an iPhone to get onto the LSUHSC secure wireless network.

However, you can always plug into our network from any of the laptop ports around the Library and Library Commons. Each of our study rooms on the fourth floor, the study carrels near the Registrar’s office and areas on the 3rd and 5th floors provide blue network ports so you can plug in. Here’s a handy map! In the Library Commons, check underneath the glass display cases for blue network ports.

Don’t have a network cable handy? We got you covered. You can check out a network cable at the Circulation Desk.
