T f| :' V* ' V* '&? ;:Xv^w? >n! 1 ife' ' I use libraries ii to make photoc By GORDON MANTLER Staff Writer The USC library system instituted a new vend-acard operation two weeks ago, making photocopying in the libraries easier. "We're pretty excited about it," said C. J. Cambre, assistant dean for management services. "Now you don't have to carry hands full of change. All you need is one card." The vend-a-card is a heavy plastic card the size of a credit card but twice the thickness. They can be used in any photocopier in the Thomas Cooper Library, and in the business, math and music libraries. The card works as a debit card similar to the university's cash card for meals. Each time a photocopy is made, the amount is subtracted from the total and a new balance is displayed. The entire network cost $80,000 including the regenerators and the central computer. It will cost the library one-and-a-half cents more per copy for three years to pay for the operation. The card can be purchased with a credit of either $10 or $20 at two tall white machines called regenerators. Two regenerators are located in Thomas Cooper, and there is one in each of the math and business libraries. A $10 card will lower the rate to nine cents a copy and $20 cards lower it even further to eight cents a copy. Faculty members have the added benefit of a charge card system, where they will be billed each month by the university for their vend-a-card use. "Everyone must use the university vend-a-card," Cambre said. "Do not use your university ID or any other institution's vend-a-card. The machine will eat By wx '?$ ?& . .::^'j9L^Bi> v :^^P ^9m t- V' ;' ./. > '. ' * v > . i'*:;. - x -x .. : : ?.\. nstall system opying easier any other cards put into them." Cambre also pointed out the many advantages of the new system. "The biggest advantage is the cutdown on change," he said. "This way does not tie up your money." Cambre added that especially at the business library, students bring in whole bank rolls of quarters just to make copies. Another advantage is that even if the coin box jams, the vend-a-card system will still work. However, he emphasized that the library will not completely do away with the coin boxes. There has been a good response to the vend-acards. a k A. aL. A. A ~ A L i i i _ _ J m me present rate, iwu uuuureu caras a nay are being purchased," Cambre said. The card has been welcomed by many students. "It's a good idea," Lloyd Raleigh, an Honors College freshman, said. "I usually don't have much change with me." Andrea Taylor, a psychology senior said the venda-card system is convenient. "Getting change is such a pain," she said. Cambre said the police have complained about the amount of change they have to carry in the library deposits each day. After a card's balance has reached zero, money can be added by using one of the regenerator machines. "Please don't throw them away," Cambre said. "Each card is not cheap." Cambre said each copier is checked every morning, and maintenance is available in the library daily to guarantee full photocopier operation. Beginning July 1, the library system will systematically replace all copiers. nil feDtsney I / X f\y j
