                   Husky One Card Information

In May 2003, we replaced the old off-line VendaCard system and in partnership with the One Card Office, implemented a state-of-the-art on-line card program.

The University One Card Program has been designed to offer the University patrons a convenient and cost effective alternative to cash/coin for photocopying and printing. In addition to being a more secure way to store your money, students, faculty, and staff can also use the card for purchases at any location that accepts the University One Card.

There are a variety of services available at the Homer Babbidge Library and the Music & Dramatic Arts Library for which the card may be used. All photocopiers, print stations and microfilm readers will be set up to accept the card, but will also accept cash/coin for those patrons not eligible for the One Card program.

UCONN COMMUNITY MEMBERS
Any UConn community member (Staff, faculty, student, etc.) that is eligible for a University of Connecticut ID card can participate in the Library card program with a Husky Bucks account. It is a debit account that allows you to make purchases on campus without having to carry cash. Information about the Husky Bucks Program is available from the One Card Office at 486-3129 or via their website www.onecard.uconn.edu.

UCONN DEPARTMENTS
University departments are able to open accounts in order to get the reduced rates for copying and printing. Payment will still be made by transfer voucher (form BO-20) at the IT Services Desk and money deposited on the card account will only be valid at the Homer Babbidge Library, and the Music & Dramatic Arts Library. Departments interested in participating should fill out the Department Card application and return it to the IT Services Desk for processing.
There is no limit to the number of accounts a department may have, but account costs have changed from initial projections. This and other information is available in the Department/Grant Fund User Information Guide. Department accounts must be in compliance with University regulations regarding grant monies and state funds. It is the individual department's responsibility to ensure this compliance. We recommend that each department designate an individual who can be a contact person for their department (or account) to facilitate account transactions.


LIBRARY BORROWERS

In order to borrow books and place recalls or holds, borrowers must have a library card. For UConn Community members, this is their University ID card. Library Borrowers will need this new card in order to be able to copy or print at the reduced rate. Information about becoming a Library borrower or upgrading your existing account is available from the HBL Circulation Services Desk (486-2518).
