Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery

Submitting Hard Copies for Scanning

1. Length - Scanned documents require more storage space than do electronically created documents. DO NOT exceed THIRTY pages, or the file may become unmanageable and might have to be split into separate files.



2. Condition - Items to be scanned should be in the best possible condition. For photocopies, please bring a clean, HIGH QUALITY copy of the article for scanning.



3. Paper Size - Cannot exceed 8 ½ by 14.



4. Page Orientation - Please try to limit each item to a single page orientation, either portrait or landscape. Items with pages that have multiple orientations may take considerably longer to process.



5. Electronic Reserve material must be submitted by the following dates in order to be available the first day of class:
Fall Semester - July 31
Spring Semester - December 20

We cannot guarantee that reserves received after these dates will be ready for the first day of classes. Please provide material for Winter and Summer semesters as early as possible. 

6. Reserves received after the above dates or after classes start may take as long as two weeks before processing is completed.



7. If the library does not own an item, additional time must be allowed for ordering and processing. (These items are given priority in our Acquisitions and Technical Services units.) 



8. Requests are dated by UCORES as they are input into the system, put into a queue, and processed in turn. All reserve requests are important, and this method is equitable to all. We will do everything possible to make course reserves available as soon as we can.
