Scanners

In the Library of Mathematics, you are able to digitize documents. This service is free of charge for all visitors of the library. Please observe:

  • If you scan for the first time, you should at first scan some pages for testing purposes. Thereafter, you check your e-mails at an internet computer and ensure that the scanned document was sent to you successfully.
  • The scanners are intended for mathematical content only.
  • Please do not turn of the scanner or the computer nearby.
  • Generally, you are not allowed to scan objectionable or illegal content in the library. Please observe the effective German laws.

You will find the scanners at the following places:
