Under copyright law, we are normally permitted to digitise a single chapter or 10% of a book, whatever is greater. Please do check that your requested sections and page ranges fall within these limits - we cannot digitise entire books. 

To request a digitisation, please follow these steps:
• Go to the item in your list and click on the title to open its full details
• Scroll down to the Request section and click Digitization Request
• In the form that appears enter the details of the extract you would like digitised, e.g. page range, chapter numbers
• Click Submit

Once you have placed a request the item’s status will appear as Digitisation in Progress. The status will change to Digitisation Approved once the content has been approved and digitised and a link to it will be accessible via the View Online option.

Staff will be able to produce their own chapter scans, as long as you or your department own the item and it doesn’t exceed copyright limits (usually 10% or a single chapter, whichever is greater). Once submitted, they will be copyright cleared - you can find guidance about this on our KLaSS - Building and Developing Your Reading Lists KEATS pages. If you’ve never used Library & Collections’ King's Learning and Skills Service (KLaSS) KEATS pages, you just need to enrol from the homepage for access.
