Digitised Readings

The Digitisation Service is a centralised service providing digitised readings for use in module teaching.

We provide digital copies from published works under the terms of the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) licence:

• The University must own the original work
• The work must not be excluded from the licence
• The copy allowance is up to one article/chapter or 10% of the total work, whichever is greater
• All copies must be reported to the CLA

The Digitisation Service will undertake all the necessary checks, create the digital copy and generate a link to the file, which can be added to MyBeckett and the module’s online reading list.

Digitised readings must be requested via the Digitisation Service in order to be fully licensed. 

Requests for digitisation can be sent direct to digitisation@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

For further information about scanning print materials into MyBeckett, please visit this guide on Scanning print materials for MyBeckett.

It is also possible to request digitisation of a chapter or article when adding the item to a module’s online reading list. Use the Note to Library feature to inform the Digitisation Service that the item requires digitisation.
