Posters and Oversized Printing

All library printers have letter-sized paper (8½" x 11"). Some library printers have legal-sized paper (8½" x 14"). Please visit the Check Out Desk (Sturgis Library) or the Hive Tech Desk (Johnson Library) to make sure you use the printer with the correct size paper.

There is no designated oversize printer on campus, so you will need to check before printing. However, there are some specialty printers available on campus:

• The Visual Arts Resource Center has a wide-format fine art printer
• The Teacher Resource & Activity Corner (TRAC) has a poster printer available for KSU students, faculty, and staff, as well as TRAC members
• The Center for Teaching and Excellence(CETL) has a plotter printer for KSU faculty only

In addition, you may want to explore printing options and prices at the Talon Express Services - Campus Print Shop on the Kennesaw campus.

Bring My Own Paper Printing

At this time KSU Copy/Print Service policies do not allow printing using your own paper at any campus copier/printer. This policy includes library copier/printers.

Thesis Binding

The library no longer binds theses or dissertations. Instead, all such material is posted electronically in the Digital Commons@ Kennesaw State University. For more information about submitting your thesis or dissertation to the Digital Commons, please consult "Digital Commons @ Kennesaw State University: A Contributor's Guide".

Individuals wishing to have a bound copy of their thesis or dissertation are recommended to consult with a Print-On-Demand service, such as Lulu.com. Alternatively, if they wish for a more traditional binding, they may contact a service like the HF Group in North Carolina at (336) 931-0800.
