How to...

All copying is self-service. You can photocopy, scan to email or print from the two Kyocera copiers in the Reading Room corridor. We also have a Bookeye overhead scanner for material that is too fragile, old, or tightly bound to be photocopied.

Any book to be copied must first be approved by Reading Room staff, who will issue you with a copying permission slip. You may copy up to six items at one time.

Please ask Library staff for advice if you are unsure how best to handle books for copying or scanning

To avoid damaging library materials, please avoid applying pressure when copying or scanning; press down gently on the covers rather than the spine.

Always ask for further guidance before attempting to copy:

• Large Size or Extra Large Size books
• items that are more than 100 years old
• items too heavy to handle comfortably
• items that are tightly bound
• items that are fragile or damaged in any way

If an item is deemed unsuitable for copying by Library staff, we reserve the right to refuse permission to copy or scan.

There is no need to create a new account if you have already registered for a PaperCut account at Senate House Library, the Institute of Historical Research or the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. For SHL users, your username is your SHL membership number. Your password is the last six digits of the number on the back of your SHL card.

To register, click on the PaperCut icon on Library computers to go to our dedicated PaperCut site at printing.warburg.sas.ac.uk. Alternatively, you can access this site from your own device.

• Click on Register as a New User and complete the registration form using your own choice of username and password.  
• IMPORTANT: please note your username, password and ID number once you have registered, as you will need these to access your account online and log in at the copier. If you lose your password or ID number, ask a librarian to reset them for you.
• If you want to scan to email, you will need to confirm your email address by replying to the automated email sent to the address with which you registered.

Your PaperCut account allows you to scan direct to your email from the black Kyocera copiers. 

1. Log in at the copier and choose Scan on the touchscreen, then Scan to my email. If your email address is not visible on the screen, please ask a member of Library staff to add your email address to your PaperCut account.

The Bookeye Overhead Scanner is currently available to use without charge. It is particularly suitable for fragile, old or tightly-bound books which cannot be photocopied. All material to be scanned must first be approved by a member of Reading Room staff.

• TIFF : for high quality scans of detailed images; largest file size

3. If scanning old, tightly-bound or fragile books, raise the book cradle into the V-position and shift the book cradle plates apart to accommodate larger spines.

4. You can use the options on the touchscreen to change colour, brightness, or scan type:

• Single : takes a single scan of a double-page spread
• Double : splits a double-page spread into two separate scans

5. To scan, tap the SCAN button, choose SCAN on the touchscreen, or use the green buttons on the side of the book cradle or the foot pedal.

6. You can use the touchscreen options to crop, delete or insert scanned pages.

7. When finished, choose DONE. You will be asked to save your document to a USB stick. You can:

• tap on the touchscreen to rename your document
• choose to save your scan as single pages, a zip file or a multipage document

8. After you have saved your document, choose CONTINUE to keep adding to your current scan, END to start a new job, or EXIT to finish scanning altogether.

UK copyright law permits fair dealing with a work for the purposes of non‑commercial research and private study. This covers copying of all types of copyright work. It means that researchers and students can copy extracts from sound recordings, films and broadcast as well as literary, dramatic and musical works for these purposes.

The law requires that acknowledgement be given to the copied source when used in research or private study. For academic staff and research students, this creates the obligation to use proper citations. The only exception may be situations where acknowledgement would be impossible for practical reasons.

Only a single copy may be made (either by the researcher or student, or for another person researching or studying). Fair dealing requires that you only copy as much of a work as is necessary for the purpose, and that any copying does not impact upon the rightsholder’s legitimate exploitation of their work. Fair dealing for the purpose of non-commercial research and private study will not cover the making of multiple copies.

Although the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act does not clearly define the amount of original material that can be copied, the Society of Authors issued guidance in 1965:

• one article from any one issue of a journal (even if that one article is the whole issue)
• one chapter or up to 5% (whichever is greater) of a book or similar publication
• up to 10% of a short book of up to 200 pages (CILIP, formerly Library Association, guidelines)
• one poem or short story of up to 10 pages from an anthology, or
• the report of one case in law reports.

Please note that newspapers may not be photocopied in the Warburg Institute Library.
