Large-Format Scanning Policy

Effective August 1, 2020, the UGA Map and Government Information Library (MAGIL) will no longer provide large-format printing services. Large-format scanning of materials from the UGA Libraries’ collection will continue.  

Scanning:

Complimentary large-format scanning of materials from the UGA Libraries’ collection is available for UGA students, faculty, and staff for educational/research-related projects, course assignments, or presentations. For all other scan requests there is a flat fee of $10.00 per scan, which applies to non-UGA patrons as well as UGA patrons with non-educational requests.

The large-format scanner is a sheet-fed scanner and can accommodate materials up to 54 inches.

For these requests:

1. All requests must be made via the MAGIL Scanning Request form.
2. Payment can be made via credit card or check (made payable to UGA Libraries).
3. We reserve the right to refuse to scan any items due to condition.
4. We do not scan materials that are not in the UGA Libraries’ collection.
5. MAGIL staff will perform the scanning (this equipment is not self-serve).
6. We comply with copyright law as interpreted by the University System Board of Regents. For further information about copyright please visit the USG Copyright Policy page.
7. Due to workflow concerns the maximum number of items we will scan per user is 10 per day or 25 per week.
8. Materials will be available within 3 business days of the request.
