You can use Leganto to request a scan of a book chapter or article on your resource list. There’s three things you need to remember to do:
- Tag the item,
- Let us know which pages/chapter need to be scanned,
- Send the list to the Library for processing.
1. Tag the item
On your list, scroll down to the item that you’d like scanned, then click on the link to add tags to item. The digitisation request tag will appear on the list; click on it and then hit save. If you go back to the list, you should see that ‘Digitisation request’ now appears beneath the item. This tag is only visible to academic and library staff.
2. Tell the Library which pages need to be scanned
Click on the item and scroll down to the ‘Library discussion’ section. Click on the link to Send a note to librarian, then tell us which pages you need and click on comment.
3. Send your list to the Library
This is an important step! If you don’t send your list to the Library, we won’t receive a notification that you’ve asked for a scan. When your list is complete, click on the three dots at the top of the list (for reading list options), then click on Send to Library.
When you send your list to the Library, we can start processing it: as well as scanning your items, we’ll also check links, move books and making any necessary purchases. If your request is covered by the CLA licence, the E-reserve team will provide a scan and add a link to it to your resource list. If there are any issues, they will get in touch with you.
