[nabs-l] printing assignments

[Karl Martin Adam]

Another thing you might consider is printing somewhere other than 
the library.  At my school, DSS would print things for me for 
instance.  There are also often computer labs at which one can 
print, and they usually have at least one accessible computer.

Hey Sophie:

I'm so glad to hear that your college experience is going well so 
far! It
seems that you have already gotten a number of great suggestions 
in response
to your question. One which may not yet have been considered, 
however, is
the prospect of printing your assignment from your iPhone. If the 
printers
in your library have wireless functionality, you could go to the 
library,
connect to their network and print the file from your phone. If 
you're doing
the assignment on your PC, you may need to email it to yourself 
or save it
in Dropbox in order to open it on your phone, but this would 
certainly be
easier than messing with an inaccessible library computer. You 
may also be
able to connect your PC to one of the library printers if the 
printer in
question is set up as a network printer. If all else fails, I 
don't think
it's unreasonable to request (with the support of DSS, of course) 
that your
professor accept emailed assignments from you. If he prefers to 
grade
assignments in hardcopy form, as some teachers do, I would remind 
him that
he can very easily open an attachment, clik "Print," and have a 
hardcopy in
front of him ready to be graded.

Good luck,

Chris

P.S. Sorry I was out of town during your time here in Ruston. 
Hope you can
come back up here soon!

Hello NABS,

I am entering my fourth week of college and am absolutely loving 
it. Most of
my professors let us submit assignments via email or on 
Blackboard, but I
have ONE professor who insists on having hard copies. I don't 
have a printer
in my dorm room (something I'll definitely be investing in ASAP), 
but I need
a strategy in the meantime for a paper due Wednesday. The library 
computers
don't have screen readers, so I can't use them independently. I 
was thinking
I'd just one of the library workers for help, but if anyone has 
any better
ideas, shoot them my way. Hope all of you are well.

Yours,
Sophie
