Evening and Weekend Guide

Digitisation 

David Upson-Dale, our Copyright, and Research Advisor, takes requests from academic staff for the digitisation of materials in line with copyright legislation. These materials are then uploaded to Brightspace for student use.  

Due to the current situation, the support of the evening and weekend Library Assistant team is required to assist with the scanning of materials. 

Guidance on scanning can be found here. 

Team members on admin tasks should:

• Check the linked folder to view new requests. If there is no 'To be Scanned' spreadsheet, we have no new requests and you can move onto your next task. 
• You should claim anything that you are able to complete within your admin timeframe with your initials. 
• Locate the books you have claimed and scan the appropriate chapters or page ranges to your email address.
• Rename the file as per Dave's instructions (linked below)
• Upload the PDF(s) to this folder. 
• Update the spreadsheet so it is clear the request has been completed.

Please note that it is inadvisable to scan more than 30 pages at a time. If you are required to complete multiple scans, indicate this in the file name.
