Scan and Deliver

If you only need one chapter from a book we hold in print or one article from a print journal then use this service to request it . We will digitise it and then e-mail you a copy.

Use the button on library search which says "Request scan" or if one doesn't show please e-mail us the details.

If you require a whole book or journal we are unable to scan this due to copyright reasons. Please recommend the book for purchase instead.
