  A copier is also available on the second floor of the library (near the circulation desk) for a fee of $0.10 per page. If you plan to use the copier frequently, you should consider purchasing a copy card for $5.00 (with an added benefit of a $0.02 (20%) discount per page). Additional funds can be added to copy cards right at the copier.

  A scanner is also provided on the second floor for patron use.

• Fax Service +

  Patrons requiring fax services can visit the circulation desk to send or receive a fax. Patrons will be charged $1.00 per page for outgoing faxes; however, there is no charge for incoming faxes.

• Equipment Reservations +

  There is a limited amount of audio-visual equipment available for university use. Equipment may be reserved in advance by faculty or staff* and is checked out at the circulation desk. The length of the lending period should be negotiated based on the needs for a single event - a conference, a presentation, a class, etc. Equipment should not be lent for long periods of time.

  Should there be conflicting needs, classroom use would have priority. Non-Baker persons may be allowed to use the equipment for presentations on the Baker campus for Baker-related activities, if it is not needed otherwise.

  The following equipment is available for check-out at the library circulation desk:

  Cameras Digital Cameras* Digital Video Camera Desktop Video Conference Camera	Laptop/VCR/DVD Laptop VCR/DVD Player
  Copiers DVD Writer Tape Recorder Audio Tape Copier Video Tape Copier**	Projectors Data Projector 16mm Film Projector Filmstrip Projector Projector Screen

  *The Fuji S3000 digital camera is available for student checkout.
  **This is part of a stationary workstation in LI 222 which can not be checked out.

• Room Reservations +

  LI 218 is primarily for the use of the library for purposes of instruction, workshops & training, and meeting. However, there is a shortage of spaces on campus to accommodate meetings of 6-12 people comfortably and there are resources in LI 218 that are also in short supply. So, we are happy to have the room used by others when it is not needed for library and computer services needs. Permission for use is extended only to Baker affiliated groups and for times when the library is open. In addition to LI 218, library rooms 219, 220, 221, and 222 can also be reserved.  Students can contact any member of the library staff by This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or calling 785.594.8414 to check room availability and make a reservation.  Faculty and staff can access Ad Astra to reserve one of these rooms for their needs or on behalf of the students.
