Research poster printing is a service provided by the Isché Library.
Initial funding for equipment and supplies was provided in part by the School of Graduate Studies.
 

Poster printing is available for faculty, residents/fellows, staff, and students of LSUHSC-NO only.

 

Policy:

• All posters printed by the Library must include an LSUHSC-NO logo.

• All posters must be submitted directly to the Isché Library at least 3 business days before requested pick-up time. Posters may only be picked up during Library operating hours. Submitters must approve an 11X17 proof (supplied by the Library) before poster printing will begin. During periods of high demand, for instance, Graduate Research Day, it is suggested that posters be submitted 4-5 days in advance.
   
• Only authorized Library staff are allowed to operate the poster-printer. The printer will only be operated from within the Library; remote access by anyone to the printer is not allowed.
