Library Policy re Digitization

Unfortunately the library does not have sufficient capacity at this stage to provide digitization services. Digitization conducted by the library is mainly to address internal needs. We can - however - provide advise, some basic training or share best practices when required.

Please go ahead as follows:

1. Dept. purchases its own scanner equipment and the necessary software, and appoint someone to do the scanning if volume requires such a person.
2. The dept. approach an external institution to assist. Please see below.
