From Concept to Delivery
Document and Publication Services (DPS) offers a wide variety of preparation, production, distribution, and related services—from concept to delivery—including design, layout, editing, printing, copying, finishing, binding, variable data and mail preparation, and mail. As a self-supporting operation, DPS provides all services to the University community on a cost-recovery basis: The charges for these services reflect their actual cost and compare very favorably to commercial rates in the University’s service region.
