PayPaw
PayPaw is a new campus-wide debit card system that allows you to deposit money into an account to be used to purchase various goods and services. This system eliminates the need to carry cash for copying, vending, or food services on campus. It is provided by and maintained by Auxiliary Enterprises (link removed). In the Library, you can use the PayPaw system to print documents or to make photocopies. To use the system you must have either a PayPaw card or an LSUHSC ID formatted to the new system.

You can purchase a PayPaw card in the Library at the Value Transfer Station for $1. You can also add value to your card at this machine in $1, $5, $10, or $20 denominations. This machine does not give change. You can also buy a card and add value to your account at the campus bookstore with cash or a credit or debit card. If you have an old copy card or already have money for printing and copying on your LSUHSC ID, then you can have that value transferred to a new PayPaw account at the bookstore. You can also add value to your account online (link removed).

Isché Library Photocopying Facilities
There are five new digital Ikon Copiers which accept cash and the new PayPaw cards, as well as LSUHSC IDs formatted for PayPaw. Two copiers (on the third and fourth floors) are equipped with document feeders. When using cash, the copiers accept coins, $1s, and $5s, and will dispense change. For additional information on duplicating services, contact the Resource Center Photocopy Office at (504) 568-2199 or stop by their office in the Library, Room 401-G.

Printing Facilities
The new Pharos printing system replaced the old Pay for Print system on August 1, 2004. Pharos printing works with the new PayPaw cards or with properly formatted LSUHSC IDs. If you print something from one of the Library computers you will be able to release the job with your PayPaw card at the print station on the 3rd or 4th floors of the library at a cost of 7¢ a page, or 11¢ if double-sided. Once you submit a print job, the print can be released from either of the Pharos print system locations in the Library. Currently there are seven Pharos print stations located campus-wide.
