Two types of cards are used in the card reader system. When you swipe either card through the card reader and enter an authorized index number, the system will validate both the card and index number before allowing you to make copies.
These cards cannot be used to make copies in any UCSD library.
- A green copy card is available with proper authorization. This card can be associated with one or more index numbers. To obtain a green copy card, your department must complete an Application for a Department Green Copy Card (PDF).
- A UCSD campus photo ID card can be associated with one or more index numbers, with proper authorization. This card can be used for copying on any Imprints campus copier equipped with a card reader.
Departments must notify Imprints of all index number changes including early inactivation dates, as well as personnel changes. To add or delete index numbers to either type of card, your department’s financial manager must submit an Add/ Delete Index Numbers form (PDF).
