We allow remote library users to request copies of journal articles, conference proceedings, or many other documents housed at Central Library. We charge a cost recovery fee to help defray the costs of providing this service. The Library's photocopying services are offered in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act. Each user has, personally, to comply with the law. Should library staff suspect that the law may be being broken and, for instance, they notice a member working through a whole book, or copying an unreasonable amount from one volume or journal issue, they can intervene and enquire about the extent of copying. All photocopies made in excess of the limits can be confiscated.
