Explore libraries have updated their printing services to include printing from any device. Thanks to these new kiosks, anybody can now print documents at the libraries without logging onto the library computers or even being a library member. Residents and visitors alike can simply email their print jobs to the library printer from their mobile phones, laptops, or their home PC. So if you’re on your way to a gig and forgotten to print your ticket, it’s no problem, just email the tickets to the library printer, and receive a unique job reference back to collect your print.
The new kiosks have been installed at Acomb, Clifton, Tang Hall and York Explore libraries, with the support of United Carlton and City of York Council IT. Helen Whitehead, E-Services Librarian says “For a while now, customers have been asking for wi-fi printing, and we’ve found it tricky to find a secure but affordable way to achieve it. We’re so pleased we’ve found this solution, which doesn’t just offer secure wifi printing, but also printing from home, and easy photocopying and scanning too.”
While libraries have offered printing from public computers for many years, this new technology brings the service right up to date with customers able to collect prints privately and efficiently themselves, without staff handling their sensitive documents, and the prints are higher quality too.
Explore York Libraries & Archives is a not-for-profit organisation with charitable status, and make a small charge for printing and photocopying. Full details of prices, and a full description of the encryption methodology used are on the library website www.exploreyork.org.uk
