Photocopying and Printing
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.
Printing & emailing pdfs
Emailing a pdf instead of printing out:
Instead of printing out a hard copy, you can send yourself a pdf (which will be in colour) to your University of Gibraltar email address instead.
Instructions are by the photocopier, or ask the Librarian for assistance.
NB: All copying (including creating pdf files) must comply with ‘fair dealing’ standards in copyright law. Common examples are:
- One chapter from a book
- One article from a single issue of a journal
