It should be noted that photocopying and
printing facilities provided by the University Libraries are
offered on the clear understanding that copying by or for
library users does not involve any breach of copyright.
The making of multiple copies of articles
from journals is not permitted under Hong Kong copyright law,
and copying from books by library staff for library users
can only be undertaken where permission has been obtained
from the copyright holder.
The production of copies of copyright materials
and their distribution for class use without the permission
of the copyright holder is a clear breach of copyright which
could invite legal action.

Unauthorized copying in any way of any material
(whether written or otherwise) which is subject to copyright
is not allowed. Please also refer to the University's "Warning
to Photocopier Users".
There are very limited exceptions to this
when, but only when, copying is carried out in prescribed
libraries. This Library is a prescribed Library, and some
copying may therefore take place here.
This is permitted under the following rules,
and only under them:
- only a reasonable proportion may be copied,
which means:
-
in the case of a single extract, not
more than 4,000 words;
-
in the case of a series of extracts,
not more than 3,000 words per extract with a total of
not more than 8,000 words;
-
in any case not more than 10% of the
work;
-
in the case of poems, essays and other
short literary works, each shall be regarded as a whole
work and not as part of the volume in which they are published.
Any photocopying to be made in this Library
can only be used for the purposes of research, private study,
criticism or review. In case any unauthorized photocopying
takes place, this Library has the right to disallow immediately
the user from making any copy and shall hold the user liable
on an indemnity basis for any claims, liabilities, costs and
damages this Library and/or the University of Hong Kong may
suffer as result of such infringement.
