Library Scanning Service
The SLC Libraries Book and Journal Scanning Service is available to all current SLC students, faculty, and staff.
SLC students, faculty, and employees may submit a request for scanning to copyright@sl.on.ca.
Please note: This service is completed virtually by library staff and does not require a visit to campus. This service is intended to support studying and teaching needs for current courses. Generally, in accordance with Fair Dealing Policy, a short excerpt (for example, a book chapter or single article) can be requested by an individual for research purposes.
The Library Scanning Service, known as Controlled Digital Lending, requires an assessment of each request to ensure copyright compliance. Requests may be filled in several ways, including the acquisition of a licensed electronic copy, or scanning of print items in the SLC collection.
Important Information:
- This service is only available for items currently in the Library Collection in physical/print format. Faculty intending to distribute copies to a class of students should consult with Katherine McMillan, Copyright Technician at copyright@sl.on.ca prior to placing a request
- Information about Copyright and Fair Dealing
Book Returns
The library is now accepting returns of library materials. Please contact the library for current drop-off locations.
All outstanding loans have been extended to May 1, 2021. No fines or fees will be charged. Due to quarantine procedures for library materials, items may not be immediately cleared from your library account.
