Requesting photocopies
University staff
University staff can request that photocopies from Library stock are made on their behalf. There is a charge for this service. The current fees and charges
lists the amount charged per copy.
University staff making requests will need to set up a Departmental Charging account. Please contact us to arrange this, before placing any requests.
Requests can be made using the photocopy request form
, which can also be obtained from the Service Desk at the David Wilson Library.
- Completed request forms may be posted or faxed to the Library.
- We can arrange to fax requests back to users but an additional charge will be made.
Requests can also be placed via the Library Catalogue's Document Supply service, but you must:
- Have already made arrangements to set up a Departmental charging account as above.
- Note in the comments field that this is a 'Photocopy from stock' request, quoting the relevant charge code.
- Print off and sign the request form as for all requests and forward to Document Supply. This is a legal requirement.
We regret that requests cannot be processed if this procedure is not followed. Please contact us if you have any further questions about this process.
