Department of Printing and Creative Services Changes

This is a university-wide communication to update the students, faculty and staff about matters of interest to the Southern Miss family.

How you get things printed and created has been reorganized to save department money and time and to streamline the process.

What is changing?

• You will NOT PAY for design services. Previously, this was charged to departments and now it will be offered as a service to all departments FREE. We want to save you dollars next year!


• Starting a project will be easier than ever. Staff will facilitate a launch meeting prior to writing or designing it on your desk top. With this launch, the writing, design, approvals, proofing, and quoting for printing and mailing are all coordinated.


• Proofreading, design and printing quotes will happen in the same location to make it easier for staff and faculty. Beginning in July, the designers and some printing staff are moving to the Marketing and Public Relations office--located in College Hall, Room 210--to streamline the process. Contact Lynn McCarver to get a project started.


• Printing will be centrally brokered to obtain the fastest turnaround at the best price (saving you even more). Gray Toney, printing director, will secure printing, folding, tabbing, mailing and other special services you may need.

What is not changing?

• The Copy Center will remain in its current location. The bookstore will be moving into the new Cochran Center this fall, and we are looking to move the Copy Center possibly into the Hub area by January 2007.
  
• All academic posters will be made in the same location. The Copy Center will coordinate all academic poster production as they do currently.
