The Bodleian Libraries provide a digitisation service on behalf of the University. A digitisation (also known as a scan) is often one chapter/article or up to 10% per item, whichever is greater, and eligible under the CLA licence. These can be requested directly from an ORLO list and then the Bodleian Libraries will organise a digitisation to be created and uploaded. Scans of book chapters must be requested through the digitisation service to comply with copyright law. If the digitisation cannot be created under the CLA licence, a member of ORLO staff will investigate other routes (please see the 'ORLO digitisation routes' PDF below) within copyright restrictions. You will be contacted if the digitisation cannot be made.
The 'Upload a File' service in ORLO is intended for unpublished material, such as lecture notes and transcripts. You will be asked to complete a copyright declaration upon each upload, and Bodleian Libraries Staff will check each file for copyright compliance. Files that do not comply will be removed.
Items available online and/or via library subscriptions should always be linked to directly; please do not download pdfs and upload them to the Upload a File service, as these will be removed.
It should not be used in place of the ORLO Digitisation Service; if you are unable to see a 'Request Digitization' button, then it is likely you haven't yet requested a Course Record. Please fill in our Course Record Request form.
