One of the most common copyright questions we get asked is:
Q. How much may I photocopy from books and journals? A. For private study or research you may copy, under “fair dealing”:
• 5% or one chapter, whichever is the greater, of a book • 10% of a small book or report of 200 or fewer pages • one article from any one issue of a journal
Read the Copyright and Licenses section of our web pages to familiarise yourself with some other key issues.
You will also find notices near most self service scanners and photocopiers you see in the libraries you use.

As soon as they are ready they are posted out to the requestor’s nominated address in strict order of receipt of requests. Books should arrive within 48 hours of posting.Reservations - This service is not suitable for Distance Learners A reservation will only be registered if every copy of the title reserved is out on loan & unavailable to collect immediately from the library shelf.The first copy of a reserved book returned will be captured by library staff and the reader waiting for it will be notified to collect it.Hint: Items showing as Not-reservable are either electronic and therefore available to you online or have copies on the shelf available for loan.
