Go Green Morgan Library Goes Green

Let CSU Libraries help make your research and classroom paper free.

Since 1998, the Morgan Library has sought to expand its electronic services and resources to eliminate the photocopy and printing program which cost the Library more than $30,000 per year and created tons of paper waste. Along with more than 24,000 electronic journals and 198 research databases and tools available through the Libraries web site, these discussions lead to the creation of sustainable electronic services such as Electronic Reserve and Local Document Delivery. Both services can drastically reduce faculty and student dependence on paper in the classroom and in their research.
