Can I watch a DVD in the library?
- Yes, but you need to use a PC. You will have to start the software from your desktop - the icon looks like a traffic cone!
Can I watch a video in the library?
- Yes. There is a video player on level 0 between the two blocks of compact shelving.
What about microfiche and microfilm?
- There are two microfilm/microfiche reader-printers in the Research Collections room on Level 4 of the Saltire Centre. You can print by using a photocopy card which you can buy from the machine on level 0. Please note it is illegal to copy microfiche or microfilms from the British Library, even if they are marked 'for your retention'. Contact the Research Collections team to arrange access to this room.

Where can I print in colour and make acetates?
