As of April 1st 2000, we began a campus-wide photocopying service for those wishing to read unbound journals that cannot be moved between campuses. Use of this service used to be limited to faculties, staff, graduate students, and undergraduate students, but has been made available to all library card holders as of Sept. 26, 2009.
In addition, we have given users the choice of ordering bound journals or copies of bound journals depending on their request.
