You need an activated UvA student or staff card to print, copy or scan. Students who want to print or copy must put credit on their cards in advance. Scanning is free.

From the collection PCs in the Library, external borrowers can print materials from the digital collections for a fee. Furthermore, external borrowers can scan or copy requested materials on site. To print and copy materials, prepayment credit must be loaded onto the borrower's card. You can do this at the PIN POINT machines located at various UvA sites. At the University Quarter Library, the top-up point is located at the Oudemanhuispoort (OMHP).  Scanning is free of charge. Scans can be sent to an e-mail address.
Please note: it is not possible to print your own documents via the collection PCs.

Scan with a Book Scanner
At the University Quarter Library (at this location only), there is a book scanner available which you can use to scan books. You can save the scans to a USB stick.

Visitors are not allowed to scan or copy materials from the Allard Pierson heritage. However, under certain conditions it is possible to make your own recordings with your own camera or smartphone. It is also possible to request reproductions. More information can be found on the Allard Pierson website.

UvA students and staff can request digital scans of materials from the current printed collection of the library (in the catalogue identified as IWO-depot). More information can be found on the webpage Requestings scans.
