The UCI PhotoID will serve as your copy card for copying and xeroxing. It requires that money be added to it by inserting it in one of the Regenerator machines found throughout the UCI Libraries. Enter a few dollars at a time and add to it when it is depleted. Costs will be debited at the rate of 8 cents per copy or xerox made; 12 cents per page of printing. Beginning in Fall 2009, your ID card will also be valid at other campus IT units, however the costs may be debited at different rates for various functions.
The Bren School of Information & Computer Sciences (ICS) is composed of three academic departments and there is a Research Guide to support each department that lists information resources and special services appropriate to that subject discipline and of interest to faculty, graduate students and undergraduates enrolled in ICS classes and engaged in its research programs. Remember to use all the pull-down menus to find extra resources and information.
Make sure to use the specialized resources for each department.
