There are scanners located in the Emerson Library in the 2nd floor eCommons area, the 1st and 2nd floors of the 24/7 Computer Lab, in various viewing carrels on the 1st floor, and on the lower level. Documents scanned at these computers can then be printed in the library. You can also scan from the printers if you log in to Papercut on them.

*Documents scanned will be saved to the computers. Remember to delete your documents from the computer after you are done with the scanners

Printing is available to Webster University students, staff, and faculty. There are printers in the 2nd Floor eCommons area, the 24/7 computer lab, and on the lower level.

(Colored printing is available at Mail & Copy, or Reeg Academic Resources.)

Using Papercut

The University has recently implemented Papercut for printing. These are the basic steps to using Papercut to print: 

1. Log in to Papercut on the computer with your Connections information. 

2. When you go to print your document(s), choose the printer named "Secureprint_STL" 

3. Tap your student ID or Webster Mobile app where indicated on the printer that you want to pick your documents up at. (Or log in manually if there no symbol on the printer.)

   • If this is the first time you are using Papercut, the printer will ask if you want to associate this ID with an account. Select "yes" and enter your Connections information. Then tap your ID again.

4. Select the documents you want to print, then hit the "print" button on the bottom right of the screen.

Some fun facts about Papercut!

• With Papercut, you can retrieve documents you print from any printer across campus! So, for example, if you sent a print job from Sverdrup, you can pick it up from one of the library printers.

• You can retrieve multiple print jobs at once with one log in. Just select all of them at the printer when you go to retrieve your printed documents and hit print.

• When you log in to Papercut on library printers, you can also make copies and scan documents to send them to your email

There are computers throughout the library, with the majority of them being on the lower level, in the 24/7 computer lab, and in the 2nd floor eCommons area. Current student, staff, and faculty will have to log in to the computer with their Webster Connections credentials. (Visitors can ask for guest access from a librarian.)

The computer screen is black

If the computer isn't showing anything on the monitor, follow these steps.

1. Click the mouse and wait a few seconds to see if anything shows up on the screen.


2. Tap the space bar a couple of times, then wait a few seconds to see if anything shows up on the screen.


3. Check the side of the computer to make sure it is turned on. You will see a blinking dot if it is turned on. If it is turned off, press the power button to turn it on.


4. If the computer is on, but the monitor doesn't show anything after either of the previous steps, make sure the monitor is turned on. On the under side of the screen there will be a power button, check if it is illuminated. If it is not, press it to turn on the monitor.

After using a computer

When you have finished using a library computer, make sure to log out. Otherwise, anyone who shows up to use the computer next will be able to see your logins and any files you downloaded!
