Q. Does the library provide laminating services and special paper printing?

All printers in McConnell Library offer black and white and color printing on 8.5 x 11 (letter-sized) paper. The library does not laminate materials or provide paper for special printing (e.g. printing on resume or cardstock paper).

If you need a project printed on special paper, contact RadfordU Printing Services. They will ensure that your print job comes out according to your assignment’s standards. They are located by the Student Outdoor Recreation Complex, several blocks from campus. Set up a time to visit them, or contact them at least a day in advance to arrange them to drop off your finished project to main campus.
