Photocopy Credit - SafeQ
Photocopiers in the library use the SafeQ system which allow you to use your AUS ID card as a photocopy card. Accounts are not automatically credited like Pharos, to add credit you must visit the Cashier's Office.

If you don't have an ID card you can purchase a generic card at the Cashier’s Office or Blends & Brews coffee shop in the library building. The generic cards cost 30Dhs, and come loaded with 25Dhs photocopy credit. These cards can be re-charged for 20Dhs minimum at the Cashier’s Office.
