and glue Velcro to
the poster and the foam board for easy mounting. A spray adhesive may also
be used. Limited mounting services may be available from the Appalachian
Center Artifacts & Exhibits Studio. Contact the studio at x3373
to see if your project can be mounted.
NOTE: Media Services requires at least a 24 hour advance notice
to complete your printing project. Large class projects may take
longer to complete.
