Scanned PDF Articles
Running in parrallel with the Southbank trial service we are also trialling providing scanned copies in pdf format. This will be the default format for all items requested from Dookie, Creswick, Burnley and Lenton Parr libraries during second sememster 2009.
Please add a note in the comments section of the online request form if you would prefer a paper copy from these locations.
