Types of scanners and where to find them
Book scanner
You can scan items up to size DIN A3. The maximum surface area that can be scanned is 46 x 34 cm. We also have a DIN A2 scanner.
Book scanners can be found in the Copy Center and Open Stacks for Journals in the Central Library as well as the Architecture and Art Studies Department Library.
ScanTents
With the help of the ScanTent and your own smartphone, you can scan book pages up to A3 size easily. It's free and intuitive to use.
You will find a ScanTent in the Copy Center and on the 3rd floor of the Central Library opposite the Information Desk, as well as in the Architecture and Art Studies Department Library.

Saving scanned media
Technical information
- You can send file attachments of up to 50 MB. However, email inboxes generally do not accept files exceeding 20 MB.
- You can connect all USB sticks compatible with Windows as well as 2.5 inch hard drives (smaller than 500 GB) that do not have an additional power supply.
- Unfortunately, 2.5 inch hard drives from 500 GB and devices with their own power supply (e.g. 3.5 inch hard drives) cannot be connected to the scanner. There is a risk of data loss if these media are used.
