Subject to copyright restrictions, the Library's fee based Copy Services Department can reproduce for members material for either messenger pick-up or forwarding by fax. To further improve copy services for ABCNY members, all telephone calls are now answered by our professional reference staff. This allows us to clarify requests initially and reduce call backs for additional information or instruction. The result is more efficient service for you. Research to find needed forms or unclear/inadequate citations can be provided at additional cost.

Members are encouraged to establish deposit accounts with the Library for copying and other fee based services. For information on establishing a deposit account please call the Library Administrative Offices at: (212) 382-6739.
