Library Reserves Chapter Scanning Service

About the Service

To facilitate access to our Textbook Reserves collection, we offer book chapter scanning by request:

  • Only LaGCC Library Reserves books are eligible to be scanned from the LaGuardia Library.
  • Please request one (1) chapter at a time. We cannot scan entire books.
  • Scans are for personal and/or educational use to LaGuardia students only.
  • We try to fill requests within 72 hours when we are open, but this cannot be guaranteed.
  • Fulfillment of requests will depend on staffing and demand.
  • Requests will be emailed to the email address listed on your Library Account.
