Restrictions

• Only one article or chapter per request form submitted.

Copyright

In providing this service, we must follow relevant copyright laws. 

In submitting a request, you are accepting a copyright declaration as part of the request process.

In summary, scanned items are for personal research use only, and may not be shared, distributed, or posted elsewhere online (including Moodle).

How long does it take?

We will endeavour to have your requested chapter or article scanned and emailed to you within 5 working days (but we're usually quicker!)

In the event that we are unable to scan an article or chapter from the our collections, you may be required to submit a document supply request.
