What do you use for patron scan stations?

[Susan Hansen]

2 years ago, ours was about $5,000 (ST IMAGING). It was a new product for them.

Could those of you recommending solutions (bookscanstation and stimaging in particular) give us a rough idea of the cost? (very rough, rounded to the nearest thousand, say).  Neither site seems to do that.
 
Thanks

I would highly recommend BookScan Station
www.bookscanstation.com
 
It can be set up with or without a sheet-fed scanner, and allows scanning, printing and faxing.
Any option can be turned on or off.
For printing it will integrate with just about any pay-for-print system.
 
We've had it here for about 6 months and the patrons love it.
It gets used quite a bit, we are surprised how busy it is already.
 
We got ours from TBS, who serves the Great Lakes region:  www.singlecard.com

Eastern Washington University is currently evaluating options for self-service scanners with touch screens that would be available for our patrons to use. One needed function is the ability to scan to email, file storage, PDF, OCR/Word, JPG, or a print queue. 

 

We're very interested in knowing what other OCA libraries are using and what you do and do not like about them. Please feel free to reply to me directly unless others on the list indicate they also would like this information.

 

Thanks,

Doris
