The Leddy Library has reduced the price of its network laser printing just in time for the new Fall Semester. Costs are

• 7 ¢ per side for monochrome (black and white) printing
• 26 ¢ per side for colour printing

Also of note, our black and white printers now default to double-sided printing. Single sided printing is still available; just select the option before you hit the print button.

Did you see that story on the internet last week? You know, that story about the guy who figured out a way of keeping mosquitoes at bay by using a simple household fan?
