You are allowed to digitize 15 % of a book, and 1 article from one issue of a journal. Excerpts beyond 15 % must be clarified with Kopinor. 

To request digitization, click on the title of the reference, click “Add tag” and select "Digitization request". The request is automatically saved.


 

In order for the library to process the digitization requests before the start of the semester, the deadline for submitting the reading list must be met: 

• 15 April for autumn courses 
• 1 November for spring courses

The deadline for submitting your reading list for publishing is 15 April for autumn courses, and 1 November for spring courses. 

When you are finished editing the reading list, do the following: 

1. Click on "Send to the library" from the reading list in Leganto. You only need to do this once even though you edit the reading list after it is sent:
   
   
    
2. The library will then publish the reading list, purchase relevant books, process digitization requests and reporting to Kopinor/Bolk.
   
   Important! In order for the library to make the list available in Canvas, the course must be registered in FS with the correct information about the semester, course code and course coordinators. Contact FS at your faculty/department if you are unsure if the course is registered.  
   
   Students will not be able to access the reading list until it is published.

External users can find published reading lists via the specific course page on student.oslomet.no.

It is also possible to share a list directly from Leganto by clicking on the share sign at the top of the reading list:
