September 14, 2009 Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a scholarly search tool from Google, separate from its main search engine.
Its purpose is "to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research." The full text of many items is available online (either freely or by using the "Find it @ WOU" link), although in some instances abstracts with links to pay-per-view document delivery services are displayed.

2. Choose the printer you want to use (e.g. \\bart\Lab-HLRef)
3. Click on the "Properties" button.
4. Click on the "Finishing" tab at the top. On the Paper/Output tab, choose "2-sided print" in the box labeled "2-Sided Printing"
5. Check the "Print Both Sides" box.

Edited 10/2009
To print more than one page per side, use the pull-down menu below Pages Per Sheet. This will allow you to print several small pages per side on each sheet of paper!
Following these simple steps can save a massive amount of paper over time.
The printers in Hamersly Library are:
* \\bart\Lab-HLRef
* \\bart\Lab-HL108
* \\bart\Lab-HLAlcove
* \\bart\Lab-HLColor
