iTech Associates recently provided and installed specially-configured computer hardware and vending equipment for Dunham Public Library in Whitesboro, NY.   John Clark - iTech’s Technical Manager, worked with members from the IT Department of the Mid-York Library System to install the new equipment. Patrons of the library now can send print jobs from any of seventeen computer workstations in the library to the new “print release terminal” where the vending machine releases the print job once payment is made. Patrons may select to print in either black and white for ten cents, or in color for twenty-five cents. Judy Jerome - Library Director, is pleased with the new equipment and said so far it has been well received by the public.

One of the first patrons, when using the new vending system, was asked her opinion and simply said: “How beautiful is that?!”

The new system benefits both the library patrons and library staff. Patrons gain better control of their printing access and the new system allows for much more confidentiality of print jobs. Library staff no longer have to transact charges for every print job – a labor intensive activity.
