Prepaid Photocopying Service

The Library provides photocopies of its collection items through a prepaid service. This service is useful for obtaining copies of material that is not suitable for self-service photocopying, and for Library users who prefer the convenience of a prepaid service.

Most material on open access or delivered from stacks can be photocopied, with the exception of material deemed too fragile or vulnerable. You can obtain black-and-white and colour photocopies as well as printouts from microfilm and microfiche through the prepaid photocopying service. Large format copying from maps, plans and architectural drawings up to A0 in size can be reproduced to A1.

What items cannot be photocopied?

Restrictions are imposed on some items to avoid damage to valuable and irreplaceable items. If an item is not suitable for photocopying, another form of copying may be available. Copying of artworks and pictures must be by photographic means rather than photocopying. For more details read the photocopying restrictions.

How to order photocopies

You can find out about ordering photocopies at any information desk in the Library. Orders for the prepaid photocopying service are taken by Library staff. Payment is made at the foyer desk. (The location of information desks is clearly marked on the Library floor plan.)

See the Prepaid Copying Services Price List for information about options, pricing, turnaround times, and postage and handling charges.

Where the deferred photocopying service is not required, Library users can undertake self-service copying using Library equipment or self-service copying using their own personal copying equipment.
