Loans

Loans are made to members of the Institute for a period of one calendar month (to the nearest working day). Although we do not fine for overdue items we do send renewal notices at the end of each month.

Periodicals and reference items may not be borrowed. All loans are subject to the discretion of the Librarian.

Photocopying and copyright

The generally accepted limits for photocopy within academic fair dealing are:

  • One photocopy of one article in a serial publication
  • One photocopy of one chapter of a monograph
  • Not more than 5% of any one text

Copyright extends to 70 years after the death of the author (this includes all authors if there are multiple authors). Anonymous and works by corporate bodies are in copyright for 70 years after publication. If an item is still in copyright permission from the author must be sought for further copying.

Copyright regarding maps is complicated but like artistic works lasts for 70 years after the death of the creator. Any copying of maps should be done in consultation with the Librarian, this includes photography.

Any copies made using the RUSI Library of Military History photocopier of any kind can only be for non-commercial purposes and for private or individual study under the provisions of the Copyright and Related Rights Regulations (2003). 

For all copying carried out by library staff the recipient must first sign a copyright declaration. Likewise if any photographs are to be taken of library items a photography declaration form should be signed. This stipulates that the use of the items is for non-commercial purposes and will not be distributed. Any items posted will be subject to the additional postage costs.

Preservation and photocopying

Any fragile and damaged items should be copied only with the permission of the Librarian. They should be copied one page at a time only and supported at all times.

The Librarian reserves the right to refuse any copying at anytime on the basis of either copyright or preservation.

Photocopying in black and white is charged at 10p per A4 sheet and 15p per A3 sheet.
