So it only took me a week to think of this one. Thanks you guys for all the info on tracking and management software. I have a new one along that line for you. My Department (Foreign Languages) has not been charging students for their printer use in the open access lab. Consequently, students are using more and more paper to print non-assignment materials and personal email messages, etc. from our lab. I have been instructed to begin charging for all print services in this lab. Printing in our smart classroom will remain no-charge. Could anyone give me guidelines on how to setup the charges, how to best manage the incoming nickels, dimes and quarters, how to handle making change for the dollar bills? I think this in going to turn into a nightmare myself. I could purchase a small lockbox to install (fasten to the desk) at the attendants station near the door, but know that box will have to be opened many times a day to make change, so why bother putting a drop slot in the top? I could purchase another lockbox to keep in the inner office (secure location) so the closing attendant can remove the cash from the lab and store it in the inner office box until it can be turned over to the office manager the next morning. This is the super simple version. What can I do that would be better, more efficient, less prone to invite a student or attendant with an empty pocket to try stealing cash, etc . . . ? I don't like the idea of having cash in the lab at all, but it is not my decision. Tracy.
