Photocopier

Scanner

Four public access terminals with Internet access are available, but have no word processing or printing capabilities. Wired reading tables with outlets for Internet access are also available. Users must provide their own Ethernet cable.

The photocopier is located to the right of the Circulation Desk. It copies to the following sizes: 8½ x 11, 8½ x 14 and 11 x 17. For copyright restrictions, see below.

A flatbed scanner is available, with 4x5 film scanning capabilities. Images can be saved on to floppy disks, burned on to CDs, or saved in the Drop Box for access in the computer lab. Instructions accompany the scanner.

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to "be used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research."

If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use" (as defined by U.S. copyright law), that user may be liable for copyright infringment. The Pratt Institute Libraries reserve the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
