Print, Copy and Scan
The Maps & Geospatial Services's three Windows Logon computers can print to a black & white letter-size printer and a color letter-size printer. The printers are located at several locations around the Library:
- Library Lobby (1st Floor)
- Library 1st Floor Northeast
- Library 2nd Floor West
- Library 3rd Floor West
For more information about printing services in the MSU Libraries, see the Print, Plot, & Scan page.
Copy
The Maps & Geospatial Services does not have a copier for patron use. MakeCentral on 2-West has a color copier that will make copies up to 11" x 17" in size, and a 36" wide rolling scanner that can scan & print large flat items. Most Maps & Geospatial Services items can be checked out for in-building use only to take items to the MakeCentral. Ask Maps & Geospatial Services staff before removing anything from the Maps & Geospatial Services.
Scan
The Maps & Geospatial Services has a 42" wide rolling scanner for patron use. We also have a 11" x 17" color scanner available for use with items in the Maps & Geospatial Services's collection. Please bring a USB drive for saving your files, as you won't be able to email them to yourself. Media are also available for purchase in the MakeCentral on 2-West. Patrons with a MSU NetID may carry images to a Windows Logon computer nearby for further editing and use. MakeCentral also has numerous scanning options. Maps & Geospatial Services staff will work with you on scanning arrangements.
Photography
Photography is generally permitted for map collections. The overhead fluorescent lights can be problematic. Work with Maps & Geospatial Services staff to move materials into a suitable photography area.
More self-serve copying and scanning options are available in the MakeCentral. Please refer to Scanning Options at the MSU Libraries (pdf) for a complete list of scanning options.
