Photocopying and Printing
1 Photocopying
Multi-function copier:
The photocopier in the Library / Resource Centre prints out in B&W only.
Paper supplies:
If the photocopier runs out of paper, additional supplies are available from the Library Desk (during staffed hours) or the Main Reception Desk.
Printer problems:
During office hours the IT Department are available to resolve problems with the photocopier. If a problem occurs out-of-hours it cannot be sorted until the next working day.
2 Printing & emailing pdfs
Emailing a pdf instead of printing out:
Instead of printing out a hard copy, you can send a pdf to your University of Gibraltar email address.
If you need any assistance, the Library Team is happy to help.
NB: All copying (including creating pdf files) must comply with ‘fair dealing’ standards in copyright law. In brief, that amounts to:
- 1 chapter from a book
- 1 article from a single issue of a journal
