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.

All registered ATU students and staff (with a current G number) can request scans of book chapters and journal articles from stock held at our campus libraries in Galway and Wellpark. Connemara and Mayo.

Please note: the book or journal issue MUST be owned by ATU Library and available in print in one of our campus libraries.
