If you are affiliated with the university and need to have a book chapter, article, or microform in the library's collections digitized, you can request a copy via Doc Express.

If you are a current U of I affiliate, see the Digital Reproduction Requests page for other request types.

If you are unaffiliated or would like another type of item digitized (such as an image), first search the Internet Archive (IA), Google books (GB), and HathiTrust Digital Library (HT) to see if a digital copy of the item is available for free online.

If the item is in the Public domain and is not accessible via IA, GB, or HT, see the Patron Digitization Requests page for details and request form.  Visit this related page Free and Open Use of Online Public Domain Reproductions, Metadata, and Digitization Requests for other information.

If you need a high resolution scan for publication, contact Digitization Services at digitizationservices@library.illinois.edu.

If the item is held in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library (RBML), Map Library, Illinois History and Lincoln Collections (IHLC), or University Archives, contact that unit for further information.
