Askews & Holts

Printing and copying

Askews & Holts' online guidance provides instructions and advice on how to use features such as notes, copy selection and printing.

Print, copy and download permissions may vary from collection to collection depending on the sensitivity and rights available for the content. The print function is limited to a certain number of pages for security and depends on the maximum number of pages allowed by that title.

Some Askews & Holts eBooks have restricted access. This means only a limited number of people (usually a single user) can use the eBook at any one time. When the limit of users is reached, you can place a reservation. You can do this on up to five items at any one time. You will join a queue for each item and you will receive email notification when the book is available for you. You will need to activate your reservation within 24 hours of notification.

Downloading

Users can download books, though download permissions may vary from collection to collection depending on the sensitivity and rights available for the Content. Copyright law is still applicable. The Askews & Holts online download guidance offers advice and instruction on viewing your downloaded content.
