Q. What scanning is available at the FLL?

In-library scanners:

We have an overhead scanner on the first floor with 24/7 access to GSD community members.

We also have a flatbed scanner connected to a computer that you may use, and this is located on the bottom floor. 

Scans can be saved to a USB drive or emailed.

Please note that the scanner in Special Collections is available only for Special Collections items, not general use. 

The library has one 35mm slide scanner on the lower level.

Additionally, the Lamont Multimedia Lab (Lamont Library, Level-B) has two Epson V600 flatbed scanners with 35mm slide inserts available for self-service.  The Multimedia Lab is available to all Harvard affiliates.  See the Multimedia Lab’s website for current hours and up-to-date information.

If you are a HUID holder and are interested in scans of material in our general collection:  

We offer a service called "Scan and Deliver" through the greater Harvard Library system. Scan & Deliver provides scanned copies of library materials upon request.  Please visit Harvard Library’s webpage on Scan & Deliver for more detailed and up-to-date information. Scan & Deliver provides scanned copies of library materials upon request. 

If you are interested in scans of special collections materials:

We ourselves are unable to complete scans because Harvard Library Imaging Services handles requests for all Harvard affiliated reproduction/image copies and/or scans. Please follow the instructions on how to submit a request here. 

Please identify the specific item you are looking for in HOLLIS (https://hollis.harvard.edu/). You can submit your copy request in HOLLIS by clicking on the “Request to Copy or Visit” link in the item record and then completing the form in the HOLLIS Special Request system. You may have to register for an account if you have not previously used HOLLIS Special Request. 

For your reference, this web page has information about copy requests for items or images: Copy Requests - Special Collections. It provides more information on submitting requests and links to a price list.
