Copying an entire CD
You can copy an entire CD from a select number of our Public computers. CDs can be purchased at the Retrieval Desk of the Main Library for $1.50. At the branches, you will need to bring your own. You can locate a computer with a CD burner yourself, or ask library staff to point one out. To locate one yourself, look for a computer with these 3 icons on the desktop:
Once you locate a computer with CD burning capabilities, you are ready to begin.
- Insert the source CD into the drive. The source CD holds the contents you wish to duplicate.
- Open up the Ahead Nero program by double clicking on the icon labelled "Nero - Burning Rom".
- After a window opens welcoming you to Nero, select CD and choose Next. [Screen Shot]

- Next, you'll see a window asking you to select the desired burning parameters. Choose "Burn" and select a Write Speed, then hit the Burn button. [Screen Shot]
- The Write CD window will show you your progress as a percent as it copies the contents of the CD.
- When it completes, the CD door will pop open and the software will ask you to insert and empty CD. Insert a blank CD. Nero will resume the process. When it finishes, you will see a window reporting "Burn Process Completed Successfully." Hit the Ok button, then the Discard button The CD door will pop open again to give your newly created CD.
