Digitisation
The Library offers to digitise resources for inclusion in reading lists. Book chapters and journal articles, for example can be scanned and the digitised copy then linked to course modules. Allow 10 working days from request to delivery. A Good Practice Guide is available for the creation of course packs:
The University of Manchester Library has a world renowned collection of over 4 million items, including significant numbers of early printed books, archives and manuscripts. A large number of these items are already available in digital format and many more will be digitised in the future.
