Digitization Services: Drop-off Digitization Requests
The Digital Library Center (DLC) is a service-oriented unit that supports the educational needs of students and the instructional and research needs of faculty through scanning and digitization.
The Digital Library Center provides selected drop-off digitizing services for non-textual materials in support of classroom teaching and student assignments. All requested digitization will be completed within a reasonable period, usually within two working days for batches of 20 items or less, and physical dimensions of 11 x 17" or less. Specialized scanning requests, and digitization of large-format materials, may require longer. Digital Library Center staff are available to help you determine the best digital formats that are appropriate for your content and intended uses.
Note: Copyright restrictions apply to all digitization services!
Please download and complete a DLC Services Request Form for all digitization services. The typical turn-around time from drop-off of digitization request(s) to pick up is 1 to 3 days.
