Charges for Services

Below is a list of the charges for various services offered by Lister Hill Library. UAB Service Center guidelines require a tiered pricing structure depending on the requestor's status with UAB.  All charges must also be re-examined and potentially re–adjusted every 6 months based on a prescribed formula.


Prices changed January 2008.
