Falvey Library patrons can now scan and email/save/print their scanned images. Ensuring CDC Guidelines are being followed, Luisa Cywinski, Director of Access Services, announced the return of this essential service for Villanova students, staff, and faculty.

“In response to student requests, the library has reinstalled the Knowledge Imaging Center (KIC) Scanner and, in compliance with safety protocols, we will replace the touchscreen protector and clean the keyboard cover daily.”
