Photocopiers and printers
Photocopying
Subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 photocopies of most material in stock can be made for a standard charge. Self service photocopying machines which give A4 and A3 copies are provided on each floor of the Alexander Library Building. In addition there is an A2 copier on the first floor and a colour copier on the first floor.
Payment for photocopying is via a rechargeable swipe card. State Library swipe cards can be purchased, or money can be added to any card with a magnetic strip.

Material which may not be copied
Photocopiers generate intense amounts of light and heat which pose a threat to the physical well-being of paper. To protect rare and fragile books and records, some categories of material will not usually be copied. These include some archival records, rare books and serials, and material which is in a fragile state.
If you require a copy of these materials, staff will provide advice on particular copying alternatives. Where photocopying is not permitted, photography may be an acceptable alternative.
Printing
Printing is available from all online public access computers in the State Library.
Visitors to the State Library can now print information from any of the public access computers in the Library.
Cost of printing an A4 size page is 20 cents, and the same copy swipe cards used with the photocopiers can be used to print from the computers.
For further information please ask at any of the enquiry desks in the Library.
