----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Concerning large format copiers in the library: The University of Wyoming Libraries do not have a large-format copier. One of my duties as map librarian is to keep a list of local large-format and color copiers in town. This list is updated every year or so. There are two large format copiers on campus, so patrons do not have to go very far to do large-format copies. We do check out our encapsulated historic maps to be copied on color and large- format copiers. However, if there is any question about whether a map should circulate, the reference department (who sign the special permission loan slips when I am not available) errs on the side of caution. If a patron insists that they want a copy of a map, I take it to one of the copy machines on or near campus and do the copying myself. This falls under our fee for service guidelines, which recoups the cost of photocopying, plus $12 per hour (or portion thereof) for the "document delivery fee." If we ship, there is also a shipping charge. If you cannot afford to support a large format copier, you might wish to pursue this option for fragile items. Linda Zellmer University of Wyoming
