Scanning services for students
As an additional service, the University Library will temporarily be offering the digitisation of texts, articles and essays from the entire collections of the main, specialist and faculty libraries. Please observe the regulations of the copyright law, which are stated below. According to these regulations, textbooks and textbook-like media cannot be made available in digital form.
