IRC Open Monday

The Instructional Resource Center will be closed the remainder of this week.  We anticipate reopening on Monday (11/5) afternoon once collections are shelved and furniture/resources restored to their correct locations.

Again, here are a few ideas if you need help with resources and supplies:

• Supplies: Visit the AU Bookstore for paper supplies such as poster board and construction paper.
• Color Printing: 200 Patterson has a print quota color printer.
• Color Printing: IT help desk is able to help if you need support with the 200 Lab color printer.
• Laminating:  AU Printing services has laminating options of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet lamination for $1 per page and a wide and wide laminator for $5/foot.
• Laminating: Irwin's Office supply in downtown Ashland has laminating services ($2.50/foot).  Call ahead for their hours 419-289-3400.

Thank you for your continued patience.
