Wireless Printing at University Libraries









[Updated: 01 July 09]
Print from your laptop (or any computer) to certain print release stations in the University Libraries.

You can print from anywhere that you have an internet connection. In other words, you can print to one of the Libraries printers from you wireless laptop on- or off-campus and from you desktop computer at home. If you can access the Libraries website, you can print to the University Libraries.

Here's how:
  1. Go to http://libprinteron.bsu.edu/cps/
  2. Enter your BSU email address to login
  3. Select a print release station
  4. Click on Browse to select the file you want to print. Click on Submit.
  5. Select page setup options. Click Continue.
  6. Wait while your job is processed. When the green bar appears, your print job is ready to be printed at the release station you indicated.
For more information read the Wireless Printing FAQ.

NOTE:
  • You do not have to be in one of the Libraries (or even on campus) to print.
  • Print jobs time-out after 90 minutes.

Stargazing: indoors and outdoors

It's quickly becoming warm enough to venture outside to look at the stars without fear of frostbite. Take a look at a selection of resources and programs below that you can use to wander the universe in your back yard, at your computer, or in the BSU Planetarium.

The image above of two galaxies colliding (NGC 2207 & IC 2163) was taken by the Hubble space telescope and can be found at the HubbleSite website listed below.
