myDocuments

A new scanning service allows University staff, NHS staff and Post graduate research students to have an article from a journal or a chapter from a book held in the University of Sheffield Library, delivered directly to their desktop. When the document is ready, you will get an email with instructions on how to link to your document. You can print a copy for your own use but the document will be automatically removed after it has been viewed five times or after 14 days have passed since you received your email notification. Students and external users can have an article from a journal or a chapter from a book held at the Northern General Hospital and vice versa, scanned or photocopied.
