Scanning for $

[Jim Gilbert(WTPL)]

Hi Margaret,

We leased a Toshiba eStudio 206L.

It is a rather versatile machine - at the moment, we are limiting ourselves (no FAX modem, no Internet drop).
We went from a 13 year old Xerox to the new machine...

Due to patron demand, my initial RFP included requirements for scanning capability and a duplex platen (auto feeder).
We also requested triple tray capacity (letter, legal, ledger).

Do ask about your coin op device - as ledger is physically the size of two sheets of letter... older coin ops will only bill at 1-sheet.
Newer coin ops will allow multiple pricing. Just something to ask when the office shop asks "do you hope to reuse your existing coin acceptor?"
Also, inquire about charging for print from USB. (Due to inability to charge [age of coin op] we do not allow this).

What kind of copier, and model, are you using, Jim?

We are looking into what we can get to allow scans to USB, and to print standard file formats from USB, and to allow emailing over the wifi, if possible, without us running a server.

Whitehall Township Public Library recently leased a new copier.
This copier has the ability to scan to USB drive.

The scans are not billed under the contract (only jobs that use consumables are billed as a copy).
With no billing on the scans, we do not charge for patrons to scan to USB drive.

The copier has the ability to scan from 100dpi to over 600dpi.
We have it set to default at 150dpi...
I don't see why I couldn't bump it up to 600dpi for a patron, if they asked.

The size is limited to ledger originals.

Do any of your libraries offer digitization/scanning services to the public for pay?

If so:
What do you charge/scan?
Do you offer preservation/archival quality scans?
Do you have a large format scanner (what kind)?
I assume you're talking about scanning materials from your own collections. If not, please clarify on the list.

The Linda Hall Library has image rights and reproduction services for our materials. You can view our FAQ and pricing from our main imaging page at: http://www.lindahall.org/imagerepro/index.shtml. Our scans are done at publication quality. We have an ATIZ set up with wide angle lenses, and we also have a scan-back camera for oversized originals.
