Book Scanning Request

Book Scanning Request

Thank you for your scanning request! Please know that your request will be processed as soon as possible, given the college's current policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your understanding.

BOOK SCANNING RULES:
*Scans will be limited to the readings required for the first 1-2 weeks or 10% of the book, whichever is greater; this is due to copyright limitations. We will not scan entire books.
*Scanning will likely not be a total solution for student textbook access. Rather, the service is intended to give students time to purchase or rent the required text, while allowing them to keep up with their course work.
*Scans should be posted in Canvas, so only enrolled students can access the content.
*Scans should only be posted while the campus is shut down. Once we reopen the physical libraries, instructors should remove the scanned documents.
*The Library will not scan items if we identify that an alternative means of access is available online.
*The Library will continue to look for electronic versions of required textbooks and will notify instructors when we are able to acquire the material.
*The Library will need up to a week to process the request, due to continued campus closure. This will allow us to limit staff time on campus and attempt to group requests together.
PLEASE NOTE:
*Materials scanned must be an existing item within our collections/course reserves.
*Please be sure to check our online library to catalog to ensure we have the item.
*If you have a copy of the book, arrangements can be made for item to be dropped off for scanning. Please note it in the additional comments section of the form.
