Two photocopy machines are available in the main reading room. Copies are fifteen cents each and can be paid for with change, a Value Card, or an I-Card that has had money added to it at designated Photocopy Card locations. Unfortunately, the Ricker Library has no change-making facilities. Change machines are available in the Undergraduate Library and in the Reference Room of the Main Library. In these libraries you can also to purchase a value card. A third photocopier is available in the hallway outside of the library. None of these photocopiers are owned or operated by the Library, therefore we cannot offer refunds. If you desire a refund, please contact Campus Vending at (217) 333-7100.
