QMplus

Study documents placed on QMplus are not always of the standard expected by students as they have been scanned on everyday MFDs. Not all documents that require licences are registered with the CLA. The CopyShop would ensure all documents scanned are registered with the British Library and conform to all regulations. A QMUL watermark will be applied identify the documents.

Large archives could be scanned over a period of time as a project. Scanning provides proof of ownership in case of loss and evidence of condition in case of damage.
