Printing @ USF Libraries

A joint effort including the USF Libraries, Student Government and USF Information Technology provides students a daily allotment to be used for printing through BullBucks printers at each USF Libraries location. A Free daily amount per student is the base for free printing, the daily allotment can be printed using Bull Bucks funding on your USF Card. Additional prints are pay-for-print using the student’s Bull Bucks balance on the USFCard.
