The University Library now offers a Scan and Deliver service for staff and students of the University.
Due to copyright restrictions requests must be for the purpose of personal research or study only.
Requests can be for one chapter of a book, or one article from a journal, from material held in the modern collections at the UL (special collections are excluded). It is possible to request up to 5 scans in a 24 hour period.
More details are available on the UL website.
It is also now possible to request material from the UL Special Collections. Further information available here.
Academic staff: please continue to forward any requests for scans for teaching (i.e. for Moodle) to your Faculty or Departmental Library. Scans for teaching are provided under the University's Copyright Licensing Agency licence and therefore need to be managed in a different way.
The Squire Law Library is on the top-three floors of the law faculty (known as the David Williams Building) on the Sidgwick Site.
This facility allows you to virtually walk around the building and get a sense of the space and facilities.
