[Web4lib] Public Library Scanning Setup

[Jesse Ephraim]

We have a scanner available to the public.  It's hooked to one of our
public use computers.  As with all other services in the library (except
for out-of-town cards), we don't charge for the use of it.  Anyone
(cardholder or not) is welcome to use it.

Patrons have to use their own web-based email account if they want to
email the scans.  If not, they can save them to a flash drive.

Subject: [Web4lib] Public Library Scanning Setup

We are setting up a new information center in which we plan to provide
scanning and faxing capabilities for patrons.

I am wondering if other public libraries offer the capability to scan?
If so, what do you charge (if anything) and how is it set up? Do you
allow patrons to scan and e-mail from a public account to themselves? Or
save to a USB or disc (does this exist without being hooked up to PC?)


Thanks,
