What do you use for patron scan stations?

[Thomas Edelblute]

Can’t you implement the Envisionware LPTOne software without the PC-Reservation software on the BookScan Station?

I combined "BookScan Station"
with our Envisionware PC Res system
and implemented a 10 min-at-a-time, no fee, scan station.
here in our Community College library.
The integration of "BookScan" and "PC Res" is not perfect, but close.
The only problem is: If a Reservation session ends before the user either "saves" or "sends" their scan job, the next user's Reservation can open to a "blank" screen (seemingly caused by BookScan timing out). In this case, a re-boot is required.
But, compared to charging for access to scanning, we were happy to implement PC Res, and so are the students.

________________________________
I would highly recommend BookScan Station
www.bookscanstation.com<http://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<http://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
