Library fees and fines

* for PhD students and research workers of AMU with valid library account – 25%  discount applies.

** Conversion of traditional library materials into digital formats using the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software, saved in the TIFF and PDF and/or Word, is available exclusively for AMU research workers

Standard page: published works and computer print-outs (major font types).
Non-standard page: typescripts and damaged and barely legible documents. Data in tabular and graphical forms (graphs, tables) as well as texts in non-standard font types (Gothic script and decorative type fonts) will not be OCR-ed.
The Library reserves the right to withdraw from actions related to text correction in the case of very difficult materials, i.e. at least with half of the pages recognized at less than 50% in relation to the whole. In this case, the fee will be charged as for scanning the original at 300 dpi.

When ordered material comes from the collections of the Special Collections Department, Regional Library Resources (formerly NZB) or is in a poor state of preservation and any attempts at scanning the material would further damage, in order to prevent further deterioration, the Library reserves the right to refuse service or, in special cases, applies fees determined individually.

In the case of orders for a larger number of copies, the Director of the University Library, in consultation and with a permission from the competent authority (the Vice-Rector), may determine fees for services individually.
