How can I get a scan of a book chapter?
To facilitate access to our course reserves and other library materials, the Library is continuing to scan chapters by request as part of our Book Chapter Scanning Service.
For Fall 2021 the service has changed slightly from previous semesters. Instructions for putting in requests are below.
How To Request
- Search for the book in OneSearch or go to the Library’s homepage and use the center search box
- Find the book in the list of results and click on the name to see the information about the book
- You should see this on the screen. At this point, you will have to sign in using your CUNY Login (same login information as Blackboard/CUNYFirst)
- If chapter scanning is available for this book, you will see a link for “Chapter Scan.” For books with multiple volumes you will have to let us know which volume.
- Fill out the form and hit “Submit”. Please tell us which chapter to scan in the request, otherwise it will delay processing your request.
