Libraries

Documentation and handouts are available on the Indiana University Knowledge Base. You can also try asking Music ITS for asstistance at musicits @ indiana.edu. UITS student worker consultants are periodically available on the first floor to answer general questions, including those about printing.

For music software-related questions contact the Music Library Instructional Technology staff by emailing musicits @ indiana.edu, or visiting their office in the Simon building in room C140.

The IUB Libraries partner with UITS to provide wireless access throughout the public areas in libraries around the IU Bloomington campus. IU students, faculty, staff and affiliates should connect to Eduroam, the University's primary wireless network. Visitors to campus from other institutions that subscribe to Eduroam will be able to use this network on all IU campuses. All other visitors can connect to the free IU Guest Wireless Network.

Printing

Images of these printers may be viewed at A General Guide to the Music Library.

There are 3 printers available in the music library: 2 on the first floor in the computer lab, and 1 on the 3rd floor near the elevator. All 3 printers offer black and white, color, and multiple size printing (8.5 x 11, legal, and 11 x 17).

Print allotments are available for IU Bloomington students and faculty through their University accounts.

There are two main ways to print a document: from a STC (computer lab) or other library computer, or, from your personal device.

• When using computers within the music library, you will easily be able to send your document to one of the 3 large format printers. If you are printing sheet music that is not originally formatted in 8.5 x 11 size, it is much better to print using a library-owned computer. If you print music from your device, it might not render in the correct size.
• When printing from your device, you can either use the Pharo app, or, the Mobile Print Website.
• If you want to print anything on legal or 11 x 17 paper, you MUST either use a library-owned computer, or, set up the IU Print BYOD package.

If you  need to print a large poster or banner, there is a plotter printer in Wells Library located within the UITS help desk area.

External drives (for playing compact discs), HDMI cables, and various adapters can be obtained at the circulation desk.
