• If an item is in copyright, reproductions are supplied only for non-commercial research or private study. 
• If the item is a published copyright work (e.g., a book or journal), the amount that can be copied is limited to around 5% of the item. 
• Copyright artistic works (e.g., maps, photographs, diagrams) may only be supplied alongside other works, e.g., they may be reproduced as part of a book chapter or journal article, but not by themselves. 
• Reproductions supplied by the Library may not be publicly disseminated, e.g., published, exhibited, displayed on websites, or broadcast without the Library’s prior, written permission. You can apply for permission using the online order form, either when you order the reproduction or at a later date.
