Money can be added to SF State ID cards at one of three VTS (Value Transfer Station) machines on the 1st floor or online with a credit card (https://web4.onlinecardoffice.com/sfsu/).

Microfiche & Microfilm
Microfiche and microfilm can be scanned to a file or printed using a SF State ID OneCard or a Guest Card in the Periodicals area of the 2nd floor.
SF State students and faculty are given priority in the use of microfilm and microfiche copiers/scanners, and use of these machines is restricted to copying/scanning only.

Copying machines and readers are self-service; instructions are provided on each machine. Further assistance maybe obtained from the Periodicals/Microforms Service Desk. All copying/scanning must be completed fifteen minutes prior to closing.
