The Library offers a digitisation service for academic staff, under the terms of the CLA Licence. This makes articles or book chapters owned by the University available online to students through reading lists and via Blackboard.
To use this service please ensure you have the full details of the items you are requesting e.g. name of chapter/journal article, name of book/journal, author, volume/issues, pages.
There are instructions on the Reading list guide which covers how to log in and access your list.
Once you have added the bibliographic details onto your list then you need tag the item with 'Requires CLA scanning'.
The request will then be processed by the CLA digitisation team who will make the digitised scan available on the reading list. Unless there is an issue with the request you will not receive any additional contact from the Library. You will know your request has been successful as the link will be live and accessible.
Under the terms of the CLA licence, the following must apply:
The same limits apply to scanning as for photocopying:
Requests should be submitted at least 2 weeks before the item is required for teaching. The Library will process each request as soon as possible but this can take longer at the start of each semester due to the increased demand. If there is a problem with your request you will be sent an email. Otherwise the digitised scan will be accessible for both you and your students within the reading list on Blackboard.
If you have any questions about the service or a particular request please contact: readinglists@ncl.ac.uk
