The interlibrary loan (ILL) librarian in the Access Services Office has software for this purpose. They are able to make ILL article scans more accessible. Depending on the purpose of the scan and copyright, the AS Office can accept pdf files from employees and students to run through the OCR software, but our office cannot do the scanning for you unless it is for a Document Delivery request placed through our ILL portal here.
Please inquire before sending your scan at: InterLibraryLoan@tulsacc.edu . You can contact the ILL librarian through the previous link as well. We make no promises that the OCR software will recognize text with 100% accuracy. It depends on the quality of the scan.
ALSO: Some of our copy/printer machines have scanner beds that will automatically add OCR to the anything you are scanning and sending to yourself (see this FAQ on how to scan). Please ask or feel free to test our machines.
