About Digitisations

 

A digitisation is a photocopy or scan of part of a print Book or Journal:

 

The book or journal can be from AUT Library's print collection, another library's print collection, or a personal hardcopy

  • for 'digitisations' of online videos, scroll down to the Screenrights section below
  • for 'digitisations' of AUT Library DVDs, contact the Copyright Advisor via ServiceNow
 

There are limits on how much of a Book or Journal issue can be copied for each course each Semester (see tab above)

  • 1 full chapter per book, or up to 10% of the total page count 
  • 1 articles per journal issue, or 2 articles if on the same subject
 

A digitisation must be requested at least TWO BUSINESS DAYS before it is required

  • You will be sent an email notification when the scan has been linked to your list, or if your request is rejected.
  • The  button will appear to the right of the chapter on your list. The link expires when the course ends.
 

 

There are limits on how much of a Book or Journal can be copied for each course each Semester

 

These copying limits are stipulated by AUT's 'Universities Licence' from Copyright Licencing New Zealand.

 

Books                         One full chapter can be copied     OR    up to 10% of the total page count

Journal Issues          One journal article per issue         OR    Two articles per issue if about the same subject

 

Note: If you need more parts of an Essential resource scanned for your course beyond these limits:

 

Note: Books that are Outside Copyright, or Out of Print and unable to be sourced, can be exempted from these limits:

 

 

A digitisation request will be rejected if:

 
  • there is an existing, accessible, and legal eCopy available that can be linked to instead
 
 

 

A digitisation is only accessible for the duration of the course it has been requested for:

 
  • Digitisations are rolled over by Librarians   if a digitisation link is missing from a list, re-request the digitisation
  • Access to a digitisation activates in the week before teaching begins, and expires in the week after exams end
  • To re-use the same digitisation on different Course Resources lists → request a new digitisation on each list
