Media can be saved to a storage device or made available online. If you are interested in having your media saved to a storage device, you will need to provide a DVD-R, CD-R, or USB with your request. Online media is made available through Panopto, which can be used in your Blackboard Learn course.

Copyrighted Material

All requests for digitization or conversion of copyrighted material must include written authorization before a request will be processed.

If you are requesting to convert:

  • Clips of content, or
  • Content which is self-authored and/or you own the copyright (for example, a recording of a lecture), or
  • Content for which you have an explicit permission from the copyright owner (please provide documentation),

Then you only need to complete and sign the Media Digitization Request Form below.  For these, you do not have to request permission from the copyright owner.

In all other cases, email the Media Digitization Request form below to copyright@utsa.edu to request the Library Statement for Digitizing Selected Media. Your subject librarian will conduct due diligence and will return the form to you via email within 10 days.
