User Accounts
The BCRC provides accounts to students taking life science courses: Find your account & change password Accounts are generated automatically for students in Biology, Microbiology, and Biochemistry courses. Students and faculty assocaited with other life science courses may request accounts for their course.

The BCRC supports several public printers, including a poster printer, and printers in teaching labs and provide limited free printing. We use a Print Release System to regulate student printing. Students with a demonstrated need for additional pages can request more.
Feeds
We have an instance of TinyTinyRSS set up as a feed reader. Users can subscribe to feeds and offer either "secure" (only to other users on our instance) or "public" feeds of articles they mark for sharing. This service is still experimental.
