- Digitisation service
The Library has launched a digitisation service for books that are too large to be scanned using the York Print Plus machines.
Students and staff can now submit a request for electronic copies from any book larger than A3. These scanned sections will then be delivered to you as pdf files unless otherwise specified.
To submit a request, please take your selected book to the Help Desk and complete a request form.
Files will be sent by email or via the University DropOff Service (for large files) within three working days (Mon-Fri).
