Liverpool John Moores University PRINT Strategy
What is the LJMU PRINT Strategy?
The LJMU PRINT Strategy is an organisation wide, strategic approach to all the photocopying, printing and scanning requirements of the university, both for staff and students.
What are its aims?
The aims of the PRINT Strategy are:
Seek to reduce the volume of printed and photocopied material where this is without detriment to teaching and learning and administrative functions.
Seek to reduce spending on printing and photocopying through providing local management with improved information and devolved control on the costs of PRINT and provision of access to the most efficient equipment.
Encourage the use of recycled paper and environmentally friendly printing processes.
Promote the strategic management of PRINT through seeking to engage a PRINT supplier and/or advisor capable of taking an organisational view of printing and its IT requirements and determining whether in house or external provision of PRINT services best meets demand.
Seek efficiencies of operation through liaison with other Higher Education Institutions and other compatible organisations.
