RapidPrint™

The core of the RapidPrint™ system consists of two components, RapidPrint™ and eReserve, that work together giving a flexible document delivery system across campuses, schools, and faculties. Through eReserve you can easily manage the documents that go into both systems, and through an intuitive web interface, ensure copyright compliance, retrieve detailed reports and easily manage the online delivery of documents and readings to staff and students alike. Using RapidPrint™, students can easily print off the documents they need, when they need them, saving money and reducing waste from overprinting. RapidPrint™ can also be easily integrated into existing payment systems used in your institution.

Copyright compliance

RapidPrint™ can help your institution increase the likelihood of full copyright compliance. The system has procedures built in to ensure copyright audit compliance from the moment materials are entered into it. In case of an ISBN/ISSN conflict, RapidPrint™ shows up the conflicting resources so that administrators may choose the resource/s they would like to make active. Each time a resource is viewed the correct copyright notice is displayed, and even if a student bookmarks the resource it is redisplayed with a link to item. RapidPrint™ allows Copyright Auditor Reports—for the easy management of document reports and compliance during copyright audit periods.

Extensive reports

In addition to copyright reports, RapidPrint™ enables administrators to review and specify document availability over time—such as semester-specific—or reconfigure settings to suit copyright or other needs. RapidPrint™ reports detail the most/least viewed, printed, and accessed materials to enable more efficient management of study resources and to improve effectiveness of learning strategies.

The reports also show authorised administrators the total savings resulting from the use of RapidPrint™, and assist with internal audit and review processes. Custom reports can easily be added as required.

Easy to manage

RapidPrint™ has a workflow process for document and material submission that enables academic or other staff to submit materials, but with materials only being made active after sign-off from an authorised administrator.
Administrative staff

• are notified of incoming materials; by approving the submitted resource they automatically create items in eReserve (and RapidPrint™)
• can request modifications to—and reject—submissions.
• can manage approved materials—pending, active, and expired documents; automation can be set for availability as needed or specified
• can enter an item and right away have it appear in the system
• can search items based on an input field—to show all items with that characteristic.

Point-of-sale Options

Depending on how your institution prefers to do things, RapidPrint™ can integrate with secure payment systems, cash-based POS systems, and swipe-card facilities. Operators can release a print job if taking payment manually, or the system can integrate with existing card services in use at your institution to ensure ease of use, minimal change and disruption, and the automatic release of jobs once payment is received—without any human operator involvement.

Immediate cost savings

Implementation of a RapidPrint™ system immediately starts saving your institution money and resources. Students print only the resources and materials that they want, when they want, thus preventing the excessive printing of redundant or unwanted materials. The costs of printing, shipping, returning unwanted copies, and poor copyright compliance are all avoided when using RapidPrint™.
All study materials, assets, and resources inserted into the RapidPrint™ system are easily managed and reviewed by staff to ensure that latest and most up-to-date or copyright-compliant materials are available to students.
