For UvA students and staff members only.
29 April 2022
The scan service was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to offer UvA students and staff access to the collections in the part of the Library that was closed. This service proved to be popular, so the Library has decided to continue to offer digital scans from the collections.
Submit your scan request via the web form on the Library’s website. All relevant information about the book or other printed material should be provided, so that Library staff will know exactly what has to be scanned. This information can be found for each item in the bibliographical details in the catalogue.
Lecturers who wish to use scans as teaching material (for example on Canvas) may do so under certain conditions. The step-by-step plan: Reuse for educational purposes explains what you as a teacher must take into account. Teachers who want to create reading lists or readers in Canvas can use the library service Readers in Canvas.
