Managing Paper Waste - Library/CITS lab print solution

The LSIRT (Library Services, Information Resources and Technology) has launched a "print solution" to reduce paper waste. Anyone printing from the Carney Library's second-floor computers and those in CITS labs in the lower level and LARTS 216 are now using a nearby print station to release a document for print.

A print solution to reduce paper waste is necessary as UMass Dartmouth strives to be more environmentally conscious. Currently, printer areas in the Carney Library and the CITS labs generate an average of 800 sheets of waste paper every day: items printed but never picked up. That figure translates to 5600 sheets of waste paper per week and 179,200 sheets per academic year (32 weeks).
