*If a book or pages are too fragile or the binding is too tight to scan:

  • First option: Try using the CZUR scanner and see if it works.  If not then proceed with the second option.
  • Second option: add a "SCF Digitization Request" book strap to the book and add a message to the strap.  Insert the request form in the book then send it to the requesting library.  Also, add a message to Internal Note 3 (for example:   SCF in transit to GW ILL, 3/13/2024).
