The non-daily newspapers are kept about three weeks. Articles from these papers may be photocopied, but not clipped. We do not have microfilm of North Carolina newspapers; you can locate this resource at the North Carolina Collection in Wilson Library on the UNC-CH campus. Note that not all North Carolina newspapers are microfilmed. Our Library does not subscribe to international newspapers.MA Theses, Undergrad Theses, Videos, Spearman Collection These materials do not circulate outside our Park Library.

Photocopier Our photocopier does not accept coins. Printing documents is possible only by UNC One Cards. However, visitors and guests can get photocopy cards by checking with the campus Student Book Store. These cards word much like a debit card; money is credited to the card and when used in photocopying on campus, each page copied is debited at a rate of $.08. Printers Printers also require a UNC One Card. Internet Access All our computers are controlled by UNC-CH student/faculty/staff ONYEN account numbers. Email and web access is not available to visitors and guests without ONYEN numbers. Check with our Library staff about where on campus visitors can find open access to the Internet.
