Photocopying Facilities
Photo of copying facilities.
Both site libraries provide black/white and colour photocopying facilities. The following charges apply:
Black/white copies: 5p per A4 copy or 10p per A3 copy
Colour copies: 50p per A4 copy or £1 per A3 copy
(These rates are slightly reduced when purchasing a £4.50 print release card.)
To use the copiers you will need to buy copy cards from the library issue desk. If you are using the North Hanover Street Library these are the same cards as those used for printing. When your credits are used up, simply dispose of the card and purchase a new one. Cards can be used across both libraries, but the card readers will not accept cards purchased at other institutions.
There are two denominations available:
£1 = 20 units = 20 black/white or 2 A4 colour copies
£4.50 = 100 units = 100 black/white or 10 A4 colour copies
To use the photocopiers:
Insert your card into the card reader - your remaining credits will be shown
Place your document on the photocopier glass, make any necessary adjustments to the copy settings, and press copy
Credits will be deducted from your card according to the number of copies you make and your remaining credits will be shown
Remember that library staff are always happy to help if you are unsure how to use the copiers, or if you are seeking a specific result that requires the use of special features. Please also consult with library staff if you are planning to photocopy onto acetate.
There are important legal restrictions on what you can copy or scan and how much. Please take time to read the posters displayed near the copiers: these will tell you what you are allowed to copy and what you are not permitted to copy. It is important that you adhere to these limits. You can seek further advice from library staff or read the guide below:
