Articles sent via PDF upon request @ Affinity Libraries

Earlier this year, both the Mercy and St. Elizabeth Hospital Libraries acquired new multi-function devices (MFDs). The new machines allow library staff and our users to photocopy, print, fax, scan and email pdf documents.

The machine at the Mercy Library also does color photocopies and color prints.

This means we now have the tools to scan a print article and email it to you. Just ask!

Under the Fair Use clause of the copyright law, we can provide a single copy of an article for your personal use. Further reproduction of the article is prohibited by copyright law. (In other words, don’t share the article with 10 of your closest friends unless you get copyright permission and/or pay royalty fees …)
