Photocopying
There are 2 photocopiers on the main floor of the Library, near the Research Helpdesk, and 2 Reader/Printers for making copies from microfilm and microfiche on Level C outside the Center for Academic Excellence. The Xerox machines have a book edge top, which means copying from books can be done without damaging the spines.
How much are the copies?
Copies are $.10 each, per side. One of the photocopiers accepts cash only and gives change; the other copier accepts Drew Debit Accounts only. The Microfilm/Microfiche Reader/Printers need exact change in dimes, which you can obtain at the Circulation Desk.
How do I pay for photocopies?
Copiers accept coins, $1.00 or $5.00 bills (excepting the new $5 bills), and Drew ID cards. In order to use your Drew ID to make photocopies, you must set up a discretionary debit account with the Business Office (X 3114). No change for bills will be provided at the Circulation Desk.
Printing
Scanning
- Scanning can be done at the Scannx Scanning station in the printing area, as well as on the copiers.
- Instructions for Scanning on the Copiers
- You can scan to your Google Drive or to a USB memory stick on the Scanning station; the copiers only scan to save to a USB memory stick.
- Scanning is free, in color or black & white.
- Results will be in PDF format.
- Black & white printing can be done from one of our workstations, 10 cents a page; color printing, at 25 cents a page.
If you have any questions about this service, please ask at the circulation desk or Research Helpdesk.
Note that more complicated scanning may require consulting the ITS lab, at the back of the Academic Commons.
Computers in the Library
In the Academic Commons area of the library, both PC and Mac computers are available for research use by Drew users. 10 of the PCs are also available for general public use, for instance to access online resources and government documents. Login-required (Drew restricted) computers also have the Microsoft Office Suite installed and can access other Drew software via CloudPC. Printing is available from all these computers at 10 cents a side.
Computers in the Library/Technology classroom include 6-8 Macs and 6-8 PCs, both of which require a Drew login; these computers are available for general Drew use when the classroom is not in use.

Circulation User Guide
Most items in the Library are available for circulation. Books are shelved in stacks which are open to the public. A circulating CD-ROM, audio CD, DVD and record collection is located on level C. Some theses and dissertations can be borrowed. Most United States and New Jersey government documents also circulate. Reference books and periodicals do not circulate. Maps and location charts are posted throughout the building to help you locate these materials.
Your Drew University ID card serves as your library card. Drew alumni may register with an alumni card, issued by the alumni office. Resident borrower cards are available for purchase by New Jersey residents over eighteen; ask at the Circulation Desk for details. Report loss of a card to a Circulation Staff supervisor immediately as you are held responsible for any materials checked out in your name.
For all students, books are due on January 1, June 1, and September 1. For University staff, alumni, and residents, the borrowing period is 30 days. Faculty members have longer borrowing periods for books. University students, faculty, and staff may view their library holdings, due dates, and holds through My Library Account in the Drew Library Catalog.
A book is assumed lost when it is 35 days overdue, and a replacement fee of $100.00 is automatically assessed. A large portion of this $100.00 lost book charge may be reduced if the book is returned. Residents and alumni are charged an overdue fine of 10 cents a day.
Books may be renewed by University students and faculty, unless requested by another borrower or needed for Reserves. Materials may be renewed online or with a renewal form. Staff may renew books online up to four times. Alumni in good standing may renew a book one time by calling a Circulation Supervisor. Resident and similar classes of borrowers do not have renewal privileges.
Books listed as “Checked Out” in the online catalog may be recalled if the borrower has had the book for at least 20 days. A search may be requested for books listed in the catalog as “Stacks” which cannot be located. Ask at the Circulation Counter for assistance. Alumni and resident borrowers do not have recall or search privileges.
