Copying service

Members and subscribers can order photocopies or printouts from library stock and other material. Visitors to the library can use a self-service photocopier (this accepts most coins and also cards which can be bought at the counter) and print from CD-ROMs and other electronic resources.

For legal reasons how you can place an order, what may be copied and the charges payable all depend on why you want the copies:

  • commercial purposes – for example, you require the copies in connection with your job and you work for a commercial company;
  • private study and research for a non-commercial purpose – for example, you require the copies for examination study or continuous professional development.
