Can the library digitise prescribed books?

Answer

The library will try to purchase an online version of the book or digitise some parts. 

Please note that the complete book can not be digitised due to the copyright law.  Copyright clearance is essential before parts of a book can be digitised. 

To Request Scanning:  Please send an email to:  library.enquiries@up.ac.za
You may not request more than 10% of the book because of copyright laws.
You will need to include your Name and Surname, Department, Email, Course Code, Title and Author of the source, pages / chapters, reason for digitization and the location of the book in the library with call number. 
Also include if you are Under grad / post grad or staff.

 

Alternatively request it though Interlending.
