You may request:

  • one article from any single journal issue
  • one book chapter or up to 10% of a work
  • up to 10% of a newspaper
  • up to 10% of printed music (typically one chapter).

This service free of charge. There is no limit on the number of requests you can make. For users who require digital reproductions of University Collections please go to our webpage.

How this will be delivered:

  • We will notify you by email when your scan is ready. 
  • We will provide a secure link for you to download your scanned document. 
  • You will have access to download the file for 30 days. 
  • We will retain scans on a rolling deletion schedule, keeping only those from the current and previous month.
