How to Photocopy
La Trobe University Staff and Students are issued with a La Trobe Card, which provides access to a Transact La Trobe account. You can photocopy using credit on your Transact La Trobe account, add credit to the account using one of the reload machines in the library or elsewhere on campus. See Transact La Trobe for more details.
Visitors and CAVAL users may purchase a card for $2 which connects them to an account. This account has enough credit to photocopy three A4 sheets and is rechargeable. It can be used for both printing and photocopying. Please note the card number in the bottom left hand corner which you will need to provide in case of difficulties or loss of the card. If you wish to personalise the account so that it can be identified by the account name you give it rather than the number on the card, contact Cafe Digital.

This can only be done on any of the photocopying machines.

Copyright Responsibilities
Copying of library materials by library users is permitted within certain limits, particularly that of 'fair dealing' under Section 40 of the Copyright Act 1968, and the Copyright Amendment Act 1980. Copies of the Acts are available for perusal in all libraries.
Please note that for legal reasons library staff are not authorised to give advice about whether a particular copying is within the limits of the Act, nor to interpret the Act. For further advice, contact the University's Legal Officer.
The following statement of copyright is displayed in the photocopy areas.
It is a fair dealing to make a copy, for the purpose of research or study, of one or more articles on the same subject matter in a periodical publication or, in the case of any other work, of a reasonable portion of a work. In the case of a published work that is not less than 10 pages and is not an artistic work, 10% of the total number of pages, or one chapter, is a reasonable portion.'
It is the responsibility of the person doing the photocopying to ensure that Copyright is not being infringed. A person who infringes the Copyright Act whilst using a self-service photocopier may be subject to legal action.
Non-Copyright Material
Your own manuscript material, notes, lectures and certain other items which are not in copyright can be copied on the self-service photocopiers.
Care of Cards
All cards should be treated with care during their lifetime and not subjected to crushing, bending, excessive heat, immersion in water, etc.
