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. We process scanning requests as they come in Monday through Friday and strive for a 24-hour turnaround time on requests made during the week. Items will be scanned to PDF format with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) enabled for screen readers.
