Scanning Commentaries

Email Daniel (dobrien1@ashland.edu) or Sarah (sthomas4@ashland.edu) to request scans of commentaries if you are unable to get them otherwise. We can scan sections of requested commentaries within copyright compliance if you are at a location that does not provide adequate access to acceptable commentary resources. We will not scan more than three commentaries per student at one time. Turnaround time also depends on student worker assistance, so please plan accordingly.
