Request a Scan from UTC Library Materials

The UTC Library will scan print and microform materials and deliver them as PDFs to your e-mail account. Please allow sufficient time for processing scanning requests. The library processes materials as they come in. We strive for a 24-hour turnaround time; however, during peak times at the beginning of semesters, it may take longer. Items will be scanned to PDF format with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enabled for screen readers.
