Two photocopying machines are available: one on the First Floor near the On-Line Catalogues Area, and another on the Third Floor in the Periodicals Reference Desk. Students and non-staff members are required to pay 20 fils per page. The service is free for academic staff 
User Guidance
The Library staff members are available in the reading areas. They can assist users in locating bibliographies on topics of their interest by searching the Library Online Catalogues.
Reference librarians are also available on the Third & Fourth Floor in the main areas of the periodicals and electronic databases. They can direct users to appropriate sources; assist in searching for a specific topic, article or document; and help to trace bibliographic citations and statistics, or locate publications.
 Always ask the reference librarian before deciding that the Library does not have the required material or information, or that the Library collection does not fulfill your requirements.
The reference librarian also performs computer searches in hundreds of commercially produced data-bases. A comprehensive bibliography or statistical information can be traced in much less time than it takes for a manual search of printed materials.
