Disability Support HLS: Photocopying and printing

Photocopying

Under copyright exemptions, users with visual impairments are entitled to make copies of material in alternative formats within certain restrictions. For example, the requested item must not be commercially available already in the required format and the University Library needs to have purchased a copy of the original item. For more information contact your librarian.

Using the photocopy/print/scanning machines

The machines can be found in the library and on the first floor and they all do colour and black & white printing, photocopying and scanning

Brief instructions are given below. For more information ask a member of staff and look out for the student helpers in pink shirts.   

You can also consult the printing and scanning knowledge articles by Digital Services.
