Members of the campus community will need to use Husky Bucks on a Husky One Card to copy or print a document instead of paying in cash. Library users unaffiliated with the University may purchase a copy service card for $5 from the self-service One Card machine on Level 1 of the Library. This card, entitles users to the same $.10/page cost for copying and printing that members of the campus community currently enjoy. http://learningcommons.uconn.edu/resources/printmore.htm Food for Thought: Lunchtime Talks by Faculty Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Janine Caira will kickoff a new library sponsored monthly lunchtime series, 'Research Highlights @ Noon' on Thursday, September 18 with the talk, 'The Denizens of the Deep Reveal Their Secrets: a Global Look at Shark and Stingray Tapeworms.'
