General Information
- Important: Large Format Services from MAGIS represents a limited service depending on available staffing.
- We require a minimum of 1 weeks' notice for small orders (upto 6 items) and 2 weeks notice for orders
greater than 6 items; delivery is subject to staffing availability.
- Items that do not require the use of the MFP require a minimum of 2 days notice. This includes
items that we already have scanned or own copies of, including our aerial photograph collection.
- The library reserves the right to refuse large orders or orders that are outside the scope of MAGIS's
purview. MAGIS primarily services the geospatial needs of UH-Manoa, and then the UH System; we will
honor requests for others, subject to staff availability.
- Items that require research will be charged a minimum of $60 as a research fee. Subsequent hours spent
researching your request will also be charged $60 per hour. Aerial photograph requests which include
the Island name, Flight Line Number and Unique ID retreived by using
our viewer, will not be charged a research fee.
- UH system and East West Center users will not be charged for the first 12 digital copies each year.
Thereafter, cost recovery and media & delivery fees will apply.
- There is no difference in charges between color and black and white prints; the
charge for making a copy of a paper item is the same as printing an item.
- MAGIS will not reproduce any items that do not belong in the public domain, unless the user
obtains express permission from publisher specifying that the object will be used for academic
purposes." We will consider other requests that might fall under the purview of the "fair use"
under the Copyright Law (Title 17 of the US Code). Fair use is defined as that which is "not used
for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research."

geospatially related output per class or conference.
