Who says Fashion and Libraries don't mix?!
Is this what the fashion world thinks of us? Women with glasses and buns in their hair, albeit in high end clothes! Orla Kiely's AW15 collection has some lovely pieces but not a computer in sight. No worries about access to electronic resources here...

100gsm Paper for Printing and Photocopying Now Available
Do you have projects that you want to print out on thicker paper?
Do you want to print out images and avoid jams?
The library at Grangegorman now has one dedicated machine that will only print or photocopy on 100gsm paper (current paper is 80gsm).
We have asked Datapac to provide us with this thicker paper because of the constant jams that were occurring when students tried to print or photocopy images.
To use the machine simply send your print job as normal, but go to the machine nearest the library door (there is signage on it telling you that it has 100gsm paper).
If you are photocopying just log in to that machine specifically and your job will come out on the thicker paper.
Please note that there are extra charges for using this machine regardless of whether you are printing/photocopying in Black and White or Colour. See below.
Single-sided Double-sided
A4 B&W .10c .12c
A4 Colour .14c .19c
A3 B&W .14c .18c
A3 Colour .19c .29c
Please be careful choosing the machine you use to print/photocopy because of these new prices.
