In some cases, it is not possible to send a patron’s entire request to the lab because some material in the order may require special handling.  Examples include: items larger than 15”x21”, material that does not lay flat, material that contains overlays, or foldouts. In these instances, material that cannot be scanned through the reference scanner should be separated or marked and sent to the studio.  Please note that artwork and photography can go through the reference scanner and should only be sent to the studio if the patron is requesting an image at requests publishable quality photography.

How to write a “split” order:

  1. Create one estimate for the patron.  
  2. Select the correct number of patron scans. 
  3. For the studio scans, use foldout / oversize for digital capture, but reduce the price to $15.00.    
    1. If there are
    over
    1. more than 5 items in the order
    that will need
    1. to be scanned at the studio, give the material to the photoduplication liason for pricing. If a reduced price is granted, note
    that
    1. price and grantor in the Special Comments field.
      Also include DRS (include METS if necessary). .

  4. Flag the material that will be scanned separately at the studio, but do not remove loose material.  Only in the case of a rush will loose material be removed. (Material will always first go to the lab first and then be transferred to the studio.)
  5. Place the item with the estimate together on the shelf.
