As part of Records & Information Management Month, the K-State Libraries and the Division of IT collaborate to illuminate crucial aspects of records and information management. This week’s focus is on email records.
Every K-State employee is individually responsible for handling and maintaining records (including University email and other electronic records) under university policy and requirements. Emails are records that may contain evidence of official University actions, decisions, approvals, or transactions. Email is subject to statutes of the State of Kansas, KSA 45-401 through 45-414, which applies to preserving and destroying records.
Do you need to print something? A limited amount of free printing is available to K-State students, faculty and staff on the Manhattan campus. K-Staters get $10 of free printing during the spring and fall semesters and $5 for the summer semester. Unused balances do not carry forward to the next semester.
To print wirelessly, you must be on campus and connected to the KSU Wireless or KSU Housing network. Printers are available in computer labs, residence halls, Hale Library and the K-State Student Union. Continue reading “Free on-campus printing”→
