How to request a digitisation

 

Under the terms of the University’s CLA Licence, and subject to eligibility, you can request to have an extract from a print or digital publication (such as book chapters or journal articles) made available electronically via your online Reading List.

In general, the licence allows us to scan one chapter from a book, two articles from a journal, or 10% of the publication (whichever’s greatest) per module.

The library will perform all necessary eligibility checks for you and attach the required coversheet.

You can follow the written guide below. Alternatively, there is a 2 minute video guide.

To request a digitisation, open the 3 vertical dot menu to the right of the resource and select Request Digitisation.

 

A Request digitisation form will open.

Fill out the required fields: Chapter name, Start page, End page and select next.

When you do not know the chapter name, please enter the chapter number. If you don't know the page numbers, please enter 1 and 999.

You may have to scroll down to see all available options. 

 

 

Select a Needed by date and make sure the Module Name and Module Code are displayed correctly.

You can also leave a Note for the library to give any further instructions.

You may have to scroll down to see the Submit button.

Once your request has been processed, we will inform you about the outcome.

When your request has been fulfilled we will change the reference of this extract in your reading list, displaying it as Chapter. We will include the chapter title, number(if available) and page range. See below.

The full terms and conditions of the HE CLA license can be found here.
