Printing is available in the Main Floor Lobby. A dedicated printer is also available in the Graduate Philosophy Special Collections room for authorized users, and a printer behind the Circulation Desk is reserved for faculty and staff.

The library provides three scanners. Two scanners, located in the Main Floor Lobby, are available to all library users and allow documents to be scanned directly to a UST email account or saved to a USB drive. A third scanner is designated for faculty use only.
