Each book is accompanied by a book plate and a short description of the work performed by professional restorers.

More about scanning
Last year, Nahum Gelber Law Library got a new Spirit Book Scanner – a self-service machine that gives you a real time preview and saves your scanned documents directly to a USB key. The scanner is located in the copy room at the 2nd floor. To learn how to use, this device you can watch the video: http://youtu.be/NtFzvvZcaXY
