Info Commons PSA - Printing Articles from ScienceDirect
When printing articles from ScienceDirect while at the Info Commons, save the .pdf file to your PC and rename it to something shorter first. Our printers can't handle the long filenames that ScienceDirect gives its files and will charge you for the print job and and the same time, won't print.
