To print from the library lab computers, you must first log in. Next, pull up your document and select the print option. The print job is sent to a computer against the wall. To release the print job, put a blue print card in the box next to the print release computer. Then, select your print job from the computer screen. Your job is identifiable by your student ID number. After you follow the prompts, money will be deducted from your card and the job will print.

FOTL Event: "Antarctica" on 4/16
Antarctica
Presenter: Steve Goetz, OCC
Professor Emeritus
When: Tuesday, April 16th at 7pm
Where: OCC Library
Donation: $5 or a gently used
book; OCC students and FOTL members get in free
Come and listen to OCC Professor Emeritus Steve Goetz talk about his trip to Antarctica!
"I first read about Amundsen and Shackleton when I was in my early twenties and living in the Netherlands. Since then, I have wanted to visit Antarctica. This interest was rekindled hearing the stories of my colleagues and friends, Dennis Kelly and Mike Olds, who both had been there, Dennis twice. I realized I wasn’t getting any younger or richer, so in November of 2011, I arranged a trip through Overseas Adventure Travel leaving in January of 2012. My wife Peggy, an adventurer at heart, agreed to go with me. Though traveling there took a full three days, one day by plane and two days by ship crossing the Drake Passage, this trip will remain one of the most breathtaking adventures we have ever had. Antarctica is a pristine wilderness the scale of which is almost inconceivable. The precautions we took before landing - vacuuming our clothing and disinfecting our boots - reminded me how cavalier we are about the ecology of our own more traveled world and the need to keep Antarctica protected and free of any country’s ownership."
All proceeds benefit the OCC Library. Books will be available for purchase by Lido Village Books. Extra credit vouchers will be available for students on request.
