Services
1. Photocopying
Copying is available on the 1st and 2nd floor of the library. Users must provide their own paper for copying. The library abides by the FSM Code Title 35 Copyright law.
2. Computers & printing
36 computers are available for research use and 4 computers are available for email use. Valid COM-FSM ID cards are required in order to use the computers. Users must provide their own paper to print documents and provide their own storage media to save files on. Library users can print from any library computer to a networked laser printer. If you are using your personal laptop, you will need to transfer your document to a library computer in order to print: the network printing system does not support external computers.
