There are two types of downloads that Houghton Library provides to its remote patrons: high-resolution publication quality images and reference copy PDFs that are restricted to the public due to rights concerns. The library will process up to 5 requests at a time.
High-Resolution Image Retrieval
- You will first need to find the ID.
- Once you have the display ID, you will retrieve the image(s) from the DRS2.
- Follow these instructions to convert a JP2 file to a TIFF, if necessary.
- Next upload the image(s) to Aeon and email the patron.
If the patron is requesting more than 10 images, then write an order for DRS Retrieval
to be fulfilled by Imaging Services.
