LIBRARY LOGGED: Why the new print system?

We have received a lot of feed back regarding the new print system in the Learning Commons.  The change was necessary as the old system stopped functioning this summer.  While the reviews are mixed,  a print management system is necessary.    Systems like this promote sustainability as they prevent pages from being printed unnecessarily.  For example, during the 2008/2009 academic year, over 1.8 million pages were sent to the release station, but only 1.7 million were actually printed.  This saved over 121,000 pages from printing.
