Self-service photocopiers are available for the convenience of Library Users. The University Library System maintains a number of photocopiers, including Octopus-charging photocopiers, a digital colour photocopier, for the convenience of Library users. Those using these machines are reminded that anyone making photocopies of copyrighted materials assumes responsiblity for questions of copyright that may arise from their use. The newly established Copyright Ordinance (Law of Hong Kong, Chapter 528) imposes severe penalities on violators, a copy of which is also available for consultation at the Reference Counter.

A Library smart card is available at the Circulation Counter at a deposit for copying and network printing in the Library. Users may add value to their cards at the self-service Add Value Machine and make copies in any ULS libraries.
 

CUHK Staff and Students:

• Copying/Printing Cards are still available at the circulation counters of all ULS Libraries at a deposit of HK$30. Card holders may add value at the self-service Add Value Machines and use the cards for photocopying and network printing in the Library (including Li Ping Medical Library).
   
• Department Copying/Printing Cards
  A Library Smart Card is also available for departmental photocopying and network printing in the University Library System. The card fee and the photocopying fee, via interdepartmental reimbursement, will be charged to the departmental account (How to). With the password, users may add value at the self-service Add Value Machine in any ULS Libraries. A monthly statement for the value added will be sent to the department concerned.

Non-CUHK Members

A special Library Smart Card will be issued to non-CUHK members upon application. The Library Smart Card comes with an e-purse. The card holder may add value to the e-purse using the self-service Add Value Machine and use the photocopiers in any ULS Libraries.

Caring of Library Materials and Photocopiers when making copies

• Avoid excessive pressure on the spines of the books.

• Put down the cover of the photocopier before copying: this will lessen the accumulation of carbon that leads to malfunction of the machine.

• If the material is thick, do not use the machine with automatic feeder.

• Do not use sharp and hard materials, such as pencils, to make selection on the screen.

• Only the colour photocopier can produce transparencies. Using other machines to do so will cause the melting of the plastic material inside the machine.
