Request article and chapter scans

This service is available to University of Birmingham staff and students only. It is not open to anyone external to the University.

This service applies to scan requests for items held on the open shelves only in the Main Library and all site libraries. Research Reserve material must be requested using FindIt@Bham, not this form.

  • To make a request, complete the form (below), ensuring all fields are completed in full.
  • Please check that requested material has not already been included in your course pack. 
  • When requesting scans, for copyright reasons you cannot request more than one article from a journal issue or one chapter of a book.

To enable this service to run safely and consistently it is really important that you only order what you need.
