Law School students can request a scan of materials owned by the Law Library.
To get scans of materials owned by other campus libraries, you'll need to request them through the University of Michigan Library.
How to request a scan from the Law Library:
NOTE: If you have never logged in to your ILL account, you will need to do that first and confirm your contact information. Once you've done that, proceed through the following steps:
Find the book or other item that you want us to scan by searching in the Law Library's Catalog.
Once you find the item, click the title to go into the record and then click the big yellow "Request a Scan" button.
In the Interlibrary Loan logon page, enter your uniqename and UM ID number. (Journals use the Journal account to log in.)
The scanning request form will automatically import all of the bibliographic information about the item, and you'll just need to enter the page range or chapter number that you want scanned and any other information that will help (for example, the chapter title or number if you're requesting us to scan a chapter from a book). By default, we will scan and include the citation information (title page, copyright information, etc.).
How we deliver completed scans:
We will deliver completed scans through your ILL account page, which is the same system you logged into when placing your scanning request. Keep in mind:
When we deliver a scan to your ILL account, you'll receive an email notification from us; that notification also has a link that you can click to go right to your ILL account.
Uploaded scans will remain on your ILLiad page for 90 days unless you delete them. You'll also be able to track the status of your scanning requests via your ILLiad page.
Copyright limitations:
The amount of scanning the Law Library can provide is limited by U.S. copyright law. If your request exceeds the limits of copyright law, we will cancel the request and deliver the item to the hold shelf located at the Information Desk on Sub-1.
Law school faculty and staff should direct scanning requests to phonepage@umich.edu.
