5. Go to the VendaCard Printing workstation. In Olin, the VendaCard Printing workstation is located against the wood-paneled wall, at the far end of the Reference/Information and Public Computer area. In Uris it is located in the North Alcove of the Dean Room.
6. At the VendaCard Printing Station, click on Refresh, and select the print job number that matches your print job.
7. Insert the VendaCard to print, then click Print. At the second prompt click on Print again.

How to Buy a VendaCard:

• In Olin Library, there are two VendaCard dispenser/encoders -- one in room 402 (take the elevator to the 4th floor and turn left) and one on the Lower Level (go down the stairs near the Libe Café, and turn right)
• In Uris Library, there is a VendaCard dispenser/encoder in the Dean Room (beyond the Circulation Desk and around the corner to the microfiche area).

Note: The cost of a card is $.55. To purchase a card, insert .00 in the VendaCard dispenser/encoder and receive a card with $.45 cents credit on the card. Re-insert the card to add more money. Because VendaCards are easy to leave behind, it's a good idea to sign the back of the card.
