VendaCards and Photocopiers

The UAMS Library recognizes the need of its patrons to be able to make photocopies of Library materials. To provide for this need, the Library has negotiated a contract with a local photocopier vendor to supply six book photocopiers for patron use. To allow users to "pre-pay" for photocopies, the Library also sells copier VendaCards of varying denominations.

The UAMS Library will sell VendaCards to UAMS faculty, staff, and students for 10 cents per page. UAMS-affiliated users must produce a valid UAMS Campus ID. VendaCards are sold in $5, $10, $20, and $50 denominations. The Library accepts personal checks and UAMS account numbers. At the time of purchase a Library Service Requisition form must be filled out. If the patron pays with a check, Library personnel are required to get a name, home address, phone number, check number, driver's license number and the patron's signature. If the patron pays with UAMS account number, Library personnel are required to get a name, UAMS department or college, campus slot number, UAMS account number (XXX-XXXXXXX+), and the patron's signature.

All patrons, including all non-UAMS-affiliated users, may purchase VendaCards from the card dispenser located at the door of the copy room. These cards are "programmed" at 10 cents a copy. Before making this purchase, the instructions should be read very carefully to ensure that no money is lost. New cards are purchased for $5. After the initial purchase, copies may be added in increments of $1.

Of course, patrons may also use coins in the copier coin-op. Copies made in this way are 10 cents per copy. A dollar bill changer is provided to facilitate this option.
