Hello all,
Janet from Great Neck Public Library is absolutely right! I am writing to let you all know that our organization, Digital Library Systems Group (DLSG) is the originator of (and largest manufacturer of) self service scanning/copying systems for Public, Academic & Research Libraries in the world; having developed the first Knowledge Imaging Center (KIC) systems over 9 years ago specifically for students, faculty & staff, researchers as well as public library patrons. Not only do we offer a KIC system that utilizes the same flatbed scanner as Great Neck Public's patrons use but we also offer other face-up KIC 'family' models. If you would like to learn more about KIC technology please don't hesitate to contact Mark Surkis at 1-888-245-8970.

Hi everyone,
We are a mid-sized suburban library with 3 branches and a main building. We purchased a scanner for the main building about 2 years ago due to public demand and it is very heavily used. We recently got a grant from our state senator, Jack Martins, and used the grant money to purchase 3 more scanners--one for each branch. We do not charge for the scans. Patrons can scan to USB, Google Docs, Email, MS Skydrive. We like the fact that the scanner is wireless, so we can put it pretty much anywhere. The scanner has other options which we are not using. We purchased Scannx BookScanner 6167 from CCP Solutions ( http://www.ccpcopy.com) 1-800-221-4445. The scanners are very easy to use, very intuitive and have a relatively small footprint.
Hope this helps

We do have 5 Toshiba eStudio devices in public use. Farmington, MI. No problem scanning to USB or printing from that. But we couldn't figure out how to charge for that (Public Library, and we give it for free). We considered the Envisionware LDS because it can charge and because it would simplify scanning options for patrons, minimizing the need for staff intervention.

We lease Sharp MFPs and they do USB printing well, they are for staff use but they can have a accounting module. They have a great scanner

Elegant - but I need a solution wherein we can charge for scans and other uses. I was hoping an MFD would hold the answers. I'm sorry to hear that the Toshiba eStudio device sounds difficult to use for printing from a USB.

For scanning to USB, I purchased an HP 6800 Pro MFC. After setting it up, I removed the duplexer and the paper tray so nobody could use it as a printer or copy machine. I tired feeding a piece of paper through to see what would happen, and without the duplexer, the paper shreds as it makes its way out the back of the machine. I turned the wireless off and it is not connected to a computer nor to the network. So a patron walks up to the machine, inserts their USB drive into the MFC, and it will scan to their documents to the USB drive. An inexpensive and simple scanning solution.

Hello,
Thanks! The USB capability is not a 'billed' service on our lease.
The way the supplier explained it - only those functions that result in a use of consumables are billed.
We do not have sufficient patrons using ledger paper to justify the investment to a new coin op. It is on my back-burner for budgeting... but not soon.
So, scanning to USB is not billable on our monthly count.
Although, printing from a USB drive, is billable. (We do not allow this - most patrons are unaware of the function).
... I'm not worried about 99% of patrons even knowing how to do it... as I can't figure out how after about 3 minutes of nosing in the menus :)

Thanks Jim, that's great information. Do you find you are at least recovering cost, even though the coin-op you have won't charge for USB use?

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.
