Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Digitization service work?

Students, faculty and staff from Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber who can't visit the Library in person can request short excerpts from print items (excluding textbooks) to be scanned and emailed.

Where do I submit a request?

  1. Find your book in Library Search.
  2. Go to the Get It section of the book record.
  3. Sign in then select the "Digitization Request" option.
  4. Complete the form then send the request.

How do I get my request?

  • You will receive a “Library Item Available” email within 5 business days. The email includes a link to the scanned item.
    • The link will expire in 10 days. You can download the item up to 5 times.
  • The sender is from no-reply-humber-libraries@exlibrisgroup.com
    • If you don’t see the email in your Inbox then check the Junk Email folder for it.

Is it free?

  • Yes. This free service is funded by the Library to increase your access to the print collections.

Email libcirc@humber.ca if you have additional questions about your Digitization request.
