Scanning in the Library: 

  • Scanning: There is one scan-to-USB or to email scanner on the first floor. There is no charge for scanning. 
  • Campus printing or photocopying services are only offered for current USF students, staff, and faculty. We can direct you to nearby printing/copying services off campus. Our scanner can be used to send items to be printed elsewhere.

Using the Library’s Online Databases:

  • When you are coming to the library in person, you can use any of the library’s databases at any of the library's computers, or with your own laptop, using a guest login provided at the Library Help Desk. Library databases can only be used within the library due to contracts with database providers.
