A printing and/or duplicating center can be a valuable addition to any school and the learning resources center is a likely host for it, as many functions of the media production staff are similar to those needed to support a duplicating center, and grouping similar functions is good management practice. However, several things should be considered before such an arrangement is made, e.g., the level of service to be offered, systems of control and supply, the availability of personnel, the need for maintenance, and the manner in which the activity will be funded. When added to the natural tendency for printing services to absorb nearby resources, a real potential for failure is created for the unwary administrator. (Author/JEG)
