Questions Before Heading to the Library?
Get a few common questions answered quickly.
Can I print at the library?
Black and white and color printing for students is available from public desktop computers on the main level 3 of the library. Each semester, all enrolled students receive $12.50 worth of printing credits. $.05 per black and white page and $.25 per color page are deducted. Printing costs beyond the allotted printing credits get billed to the student.
What is my login for library databases, such as PsycINFO or CINAHL?
On-campus users are automatically logged in to the library's databases and online resources. However, if you are off-campus or in the dorms, you must log in with your RIC User ID and RIC Password. If you have difficulty logging in, please email Kieran Ayton at kayton@ric.edu.
