Question: Can I request to get part of a book scanned?

Answer


NYU New York

If an item is held at Bobst library, and you are at a global NYU site, you can request a scan (subject to fair use) through our document delivery service. New York faculty and doctoral students can also use this service to request scans. For more information, please see our guide to delivery services. 

NYU Abu Dhabi

Yes, when requesting the item online through your library account, you can specify the part of the book to be scanned. Please visit the Requesting Materials page for information on requesting scans and books outside of the NYUAD collection.  

NYU Shanghai

Students and faculty at NYU Shanghai may request chapter scan (subject to fair use) of NYU Library materials via the library catalog. Library users can also submit an interlibrary loan request for items needed that are not readily available in NYUSH Library.
