The Library has launched a scan on request service for students who have registered with Learner supports to enable requests for scanned copies of print book chapters and journal articles held in the library.

Scan on demand is designed to support those who cannot physically make it to the campus libraries. This means it is primarily intended for reference materials ​for those students who are not in a position to physically visit the library.

The scan on demand service is free of charge.

How does the scan on demand service work?

• Requests must be placed via email, and will be processed in the Dublin campus library for all college campuses.
• You will need to accept a copyright declaration as part of the request process. In summary, scanned items are for individual research use only, and may not be shared, distributed, or posted elsewhere online. If you are a lecturer and wish to request a scan of a print book chapter or journal article for uploading to Moodle, please e-mail your request to the library.
• You may place up to three requests at any one time, each request will be processed in turn.
• Library staff will create scanned copies of requested book chapters and journal articles in compliance with copyright legislation, you will then receive these as email pdf attachments.

We are here to support you in your studies, and encourage you to arrange a time to meet with us to answer any questions or queries you may have. We continue to offer all our library workshops and one to one meetings through Zoom.

Email the Dublin campus library or drop into our Ask a Librarian Zoom Session by appointement. This link may be accessed via our Library Moodle pages. From time to time, there may be scheduled drop-in times, which will posted there. During off-peak times just email [email protected] to arrange a meeting.

All Griffith College students have access to the full Office 365 suite through their college email.
