Extra black requires unnecessary amounts of toner\/ink if electronic reserves resources are printed\u00a0out.<\/li>\n<li>The Instruction Lab, Project Rooms, and half of the computers at Scholarly Workstations and in the Information Commons are shut down\u00a0for the summer and during Winter break in order to reduce energy consumption; when the building is closed for extended breaks and 3-day weekends, all public computers and printers are shut down and staff are reminded to turn their office systems off.<\/li>\n<li>Printing &amp; Mailing Services Office replaced our\u00a0old Xerox machines with 7 Canon\/Xerox multifuctional devices which offer a scan-to-email function in addition to printing traditional photocopies. The power saving mode is also activated on these machines and they have been set to print and copy at their lowest settings.\u00a0All staff have received instructions on these features and are willing to train anyone interested in them!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free printing is an attractive benefit\u00a0for Ames Library patrons but please consider some environmentally friendly steps you can take to help reduce paper usage: http:\/\/www.iwu.edu\/library\/support\/print_smart.shtml Conscious printing is one way we can all help lessen our impact on the environment. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/save-a-tree\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[8,14,33],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-be-green","tag-environmental-awareness","tag-paper-waste-reduction"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions\/73"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.iwu.edu\/library\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
