Interruption to Digitisation Service

11/02/2026

From 5pm on the 6th of March until the 16th of March, the CLA (Copyright Licencing Agency) are upgrading the DCS platform where digitised readings are processed and stored. As a result, no new digitisation requests can be submitted or processed during this time period. Normal service will resume on the 17th of March.

Students will not be impacted by this change and will be able to access all current digitised readings as usual on their reading lists throughout this time period.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, if you have any further questions, please contact us on digitisation@aber.ac.uk.
