• 45 PC stations in the reference area and 17 in the instruction lab (schedule permitting). Software includes Internet browsers, Windows, MS Office and various applications for specific programs of study.
• Laptop computers and Chromebooks are available for in-library checkout by current Seattle Central students, faculty, and staff (with wireless access to the Internet). Please note that no other software is loaded on these computers.
• 3 black and white printers and 1 color printer

 

You must be affiliated with Seattle Central as a current student or employee. Visitors may be given limited access at the discretion of the reference librarian.

 

The PaperCut print management system is an account–based service. Here’s how it works:

• Money goes into a print account that uses your MySeattleColleges.edu username and password (same as for logging into the computers).
• After logging on to a student network computer, your PaperCut Balance box displays on the desktop. Note your balance amount to be sure it will cover your print jobs.
• Open your file and select a printer. Direct printing is enabled after login.

 

The cost is $0.05 for single sided black/white and $0.10 for double sided black/white. Color pages cost $0.50. When possible please save paper and the environment by selecting the Print on Both Sides option.

 

Each student receives an initial allocation of $0.50 their first quarter. When that runs out, it’s time to add money using a credit/debit card (online) or cash (Cashier's Office, Room 1104A). Payment amount options are for $2, $5, or $10 only. The amount you put in stays in. There are no refunds, so it’s best not to put in excessive amounts of money.

 

The library’s photocopy machines charge $.10 per page for black / white copies. Color photocopiers and fax services are available in the Copy Center in room BE3105A of the Broadway Edison building.

 

All student networked computers have:

• Merlin Enhanced Vision (full color, auto focus video magnifier)
• JAWS (electronic text reader)
• ZoomText (computer screen magnifier)
• Windows accessibility options (text magnifiers, narrators, and online keyboards) – Start menu > "All Programs" > "Accessibility"

Two closed–circuit televisions (CCTV) enlarge the text in books and other print materials. Students who need assistive technology software training should contact Disability Support Services at 206.934.4183 (Voice or TTY).
