Copying services

All library copying in the UK, including the CSP Learning Resource Centre is governed by the regulations set out in the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 amended 2003.

LIS copying services and prices

Self-service copying facilities are available within the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). The charge is 5p per A4 sheet, 10p per A3 sheet. Double sided copying is 5p per A4 side, 10p per A3 side.

Copying requests

The CSP Library and Information Service (LIS) offers a photocopying service for members and non-members (different charges apply). We can copy journal articles, sections of books and reports etc but due to copyright regulations we can only make one copy of one article from a single journal issue. From books and reports the copying limit is one chapter or up to 5% of the book/report. As stated on the copyright declaration form, normal photocopying is undertaken either for research for a non-commercial purpose or for private study. If your copying is for commercial purposes or leads to a commercial product e.g. a book, please notify LIS staff as different ordering procedures and charges apply. All illegal photocopying requests will be returned unprocessed to ensure the LIS copying service complies with UK law.

Non-commercial charges for members and non-members as stated on the relevant declaration form are:

Before orders can be processed we must receive a signed copyright declaration form for each article/chapter requested, and a payment form for each order. We are legally unable to accept an electronic signature, forms must therefore be delivered in person, sent by post or faxed to 020 7306 6629

Payment

The minimum order is £5.00. You can pay by credit/debit card or cheque. We can raise an invoice if the total order is £10.00 or more

A completed payment form must accompany your request.

If you are paying by credit or debit card the form requires the ‘Security Code’ – this is the last three digits from the number on the reverse of the card.

Obtaining copies of material not held in the LRC

This service is only offered to CSP members. We are able to obtain photocopies from a number of other libraries at a charge £5.00 per copy or the British Library at a charge of £10.00 per copy. The CSP LIS team will endeavour to use the cheapest source possible to keep your costs down. We will respect the level of payment limit you indicate when placing orders for photocopies (the back of the copyright declaration form contains a section where you need to indicate the maximum you are prepared to pay for the copy).
