Sarah makes this suggestion:
I feel that NEIU should have an area where students can print documents in color. Considering many classes require pictures and text to be in color. There are many art classes offered and the assignments usually need to be in color. THANKS!
Dave Green, Associate University Librarian for Collections and Information Services replies:
Hi Sarah. Students can make color prints at the Quartet Copy Center in the bookstore. Regular prints are $.29 and tabloid prints (11 X 17) are only $.39 a page. They are open when the bookstore is open. The bookstore’s regular hours are Monday-Thursday 8:30a.m. – 7:00p.m. and Friday 8:30a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Hope this helps.

While this does address the ability to make color prints on campus, it does not address the Library as a resource. The NEIU Art Department has grown 285% over the last roughly 15 years, and the needs of the art students are not being addressed by the school overall, and by the Art Dept, whose budget is less than it was at the time before the huge growth. The Library should be a resource for *all* students, and should provide these resources, and not shuttle students off to other areas on campus. When work is being done at the Library, it should be able to be completed at the Library. Such is the nature of library research. A simple color printing area would not be terribly difficult. If there is a University contract with Beck’s bookstore/Quartet, then perhaps someone at the Library could open up a discussion to place a Beck’s satellite area within the Library to meet student need.
