What do you use for patron scan stations?

[Paul Butler (pbutler3)]

Howdy,

Today I am installing our new Scannx Book Scancenter < www.scannx.com >. Out of the box with a minimal amount of work it can send a wide range of document types (Tiff/Jpeg, Searchable PDF, MS Word) to Google Drive, a smartphone, an email account, or a USB device. I still need to build printer drives, but it is said to work with our Pharos payment system for printing. It has a simple touchscreen display and fast scanning.  It can also work with OCLC/ILLiad/Article Exchange - features I plan to setup in the future for our ILL staff, so I can't comment directly on those features at this time.

So far I am impressed.

Cheers, Paul

Subject: [WEB4LIB] What do you use for patron scan stations?

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
