A guide to the University of Hawaii Law Library.

Digitization Requests

Digitization Requests

Making a Digitization Request allows you to request 1 chapter, or 10% of a resource, which is within the fair use, copyright guidelines. Make sure to fill out the Digitization Request form with the requested Chapter/Article title, and start to end pages. The item will be electronically sent to you within 1-2 business days.  

The request can be cancelled if the item is missing, or the chapter title and/or page numbers are not specified, or the request exceeds 10% of the resource. If you want to access more chapters of a book, it is best to "Request a Specific Copy" to borrow and pick up the physical book.

What Happens When You Submit a Request?


Once you send these requests, the library staff will fulfill or cancel the request. 


If you are requesting a digitization, and the item is already Available Online, you will be directed to the electronic copy.  

 

If you are requesting a physical copy, you will be sent an email from lawcirc@hawaii.edu.  If you do not pick up the item during your scheduled time, we will cancel the hold and you must “Request Specific Copy” on OneSearch again.  If you need to schedule a change in a date and time of pick up, please give us 24 hours notice.  If you have any questions, please contact the Law Library’s circulation desk at 956-7583 or lawcirc@hawaii.edu.
