Check the Library catalogue for the desired reading. Do you see one of these buttons?
If so, you have access to an e-version → Go to step 2
No e-version → Go to step 3
Looking for the link? Find your e-book or article in the Library catalogue, click on the Link icon on the upper righthand side, then copy and paste the permalink into myCourses.

You can generally upload the following amounts without any payment or permission:

- 1 entire chapter of a book (as long as it does not total more than 20% of the book)
- 1 entire article from a journal
All you need to do is register for a Savia account and report your scanned readings.
You can use your own scan or request one from the Library's scan request service. Please fill out the reporting form before requesting a scan.
Follow these Optical Character Recognition (OCR) instructions to ensure that your scanned documents are accessible to students using screen readers.
