Print Resources at SAE

If a journal or a book is available in the SAE library in print format, current students and staff can request an article or chapter from the item to be digitised and sent to them as a PDF.  Print resources from SAE can be identified in the library catalogue by the wording 'SAE Closed Reserve' (See more about the Closed Reserve here). Please be aware that copyright restrictions apply and as a result not all digitisation requests can be fulfilled. 

Whilst digitisation requests from SAE print collections aim to be processed within a 3-5 day period, this may be longer depending on demand. 

To place a digitisation request:

1. Go to the Library Catalogue;
2. Search for the title of the item;
3. Select the 'My Library Login' from one of the following options:

 i. The top of the page

ii. Once you’ve selected the item, under the Find & Request option.

A librarian will email you the requested PDF.  

If you are an academic staff member, a librarian will be in touch. A librarian will need to:

• Verify if you'd like this as a reading.
• Provide a link to the requested item from our readings system which you can share on Campus Online or other teaching platforms. 

For information on best practice for creating and publishing a reading list, go to the Reading List Best Practice Guide.

Requesting articles and chapters from other libraries

If an item is not held in the SAE Library collections, you may request a PDF of a chapter or an article via the document delivery service. The document delivery service is available to:

• Australian staff members,
• Postgraduate students, and
• Students undertaking a Major Project; and

Must be for the purposes of teaching and research at SAE.
