Bortz Library now offers digitization services services to current students and faculty for research and scholarly use. To request the digitization of any library materials, please read through the information on this page and fill out the Digitization Request Form. Please allow at least 48 hours (or two business days) for processing. The library also offers self-scanning services at the Zeta Book Scanner in the Fuqua Technology Commons (FTC). Patrons may use the book scanner to create digital copies of personal materials as well as library materials. Please visit the FTC Desk for assistance |
Scanning Archival Materials |
Please contact Dawnelle Ion (dion@hsc.edu) directly to facilitate scanning of archival materials. Larger materials, such as maps, architectural plans, and construction plans may be too large for digitization at this time. Additionally, allow a minimum of 48 hours (up to two business days) for processing. The nature of the Hampden-Sydney College Archives and Special Collections means that copyright or other information about restrictions may be difficult or even impossible to determine despite reasonable efforts. As a result, Hampden-Sydney College claims only physical ownership of most Special Collections materials. |
Copyright Restrictions |
The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law. Please Note: Due to copyright restrictions, we are unable to digitize media materials such as feature films, CDs, DVDs, etc. |
Method of Delivery |
All files will be sent to the email address provided in this form (must be a valid Hampden-Sydney College email address). If you would like to request another method of delivery, please note that in the Special Instructions Section of the form. |
