III Services in the Reprographic and Digitization Unit
- The Reprographic and Digitization Unit performs digitization services only from WUL's own collections. The manager of the relevant Department must give consent to make digital copies from manuscripts, old prints, iconographic or cartographic publications.
- Orders for reprographic services can be submitted electronically via the form on the WUL's website, as well as on order forms available in all WUL's reading rooms. It is also possible to send the order by e-mail (bu[w]uwr.edu.pl (bu[at]uwr[dot]edu[dot]pl) or oin.bu[w]uwr.edu.pl (oin[dot]bu[at]uwr[dot]edu[dot]pl))), as well as by traditional mail to the WUL's address: Fryderyka Joliot-Curie 12 St., 50-383 Wroclaw.
- WUL does not grant a license to use digital reproductions in publications of a didactic, scientific or educational nature and does not charge separate fees for this, nor is it responsible for further use of the materials received. WUL asks users who publish reproduced materials to include information about the location of the original.
- The digital copies are available to the ordering party for download from the FTP server for a period of 1 month from the date of completion of the order.
- It is allowed to independently photograph some library materials with your own device (without using a flashlight) - with the consent of the librarian.
- The library may refuse to perform a reprographic service if the condition of the material does not allow it or if it is not technically possible to perform the service. In the event of refusal to provide the service, the user may consult with a library employee to obtain additional information and possible alternative solutions.
- Digitization services are exempt from VAT (pursuant to art. 43 section 1 item 33 of the VAT Act) if the order is downloaded independently from the FTP server or collected via e-mail (it will not be recorded on any medium).
- Invoices in PLN or EUR are issued for the services provided (converted into PLN according to the average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland). A fiscal receipt for the performed work (payment in cash) is collected at the WUL’s Information Point, invoices are sent electronically.

- Copies of library materials are made in accordance with applicable law, in particular the Act on Copyright and Related Rights (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 1062, as amended).
- In accordance with the current provisions of copyright law, the Library is not able to fulfill requests to make and transfer to users digital copies and photocopies of objects that are not in the public domain (articles or fragments of books). Such action could constitute a violation of copyright property rights, in accordance with the Act of 4 February 1994 on copyright and related rights. The provisions of this Act (Articles 17, 28, 50) indicate that the reproduction of works - including by digital technology - is a separate field of exploitation that requires the consent of the creator or another entity holding copyright property rights. Currently, libraries may reproduce works only for purposes related to the preservation, protection or supplementation of their collections. Unfortunately, creating copies of fragments of works in order to fulfill users' orders does not fall within the scope of these rights. It is worth emphasizing, however, that in accordance with Article 23, Section 1 of the aforementioned Act, each user has the right to permitted personal use. This means that the user can independently reproduce distributed works on the equipment provided to users in the reading rooms or by using their own devices. We therefore encourage you to use this right according to your own needs, in accordance with the applicable regulations. In case of questions or doubts, please contact the library employees.
- In connection with the provision of reprographic and digitization services, WUL processes personal data in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). Detailed information on the processing of personal data can be found in: Privacy Policy - University of Wrocław.
