Our library recently installed a scanner  connected to the network.  This
allows us to have the computer and scanner here but have the color copy made
on a large copier/printer  in the computer center in the next building.  There
are only two of us here full time, so this set up means we don't have to spend
time on supplies, paper, printer quality issues, making change, etc.  Students
have an option of scanning to disk or getting a color copy.  We encourage them
only to scan here and if they want to manipulate the image, they go to the
computer center and work on their disk there.  We've only had this service for
two months but it seems to be working well.

***Please excuse any duplication***

Colleagues,

I am interested to know if there are academic libraries that provide a
scanner workstation for public use.  We get lots of requests for special
checkout of room-use-only material for scanning purposes and are
investigating the possibilities for in-house public scanning.  If you do
provide this service, what kind of software do you provide?  Do you have
any increased computer security problems?  Are your patrons scanning
images for manipulation elsewhere, or do they use image editing software
on library machines?

Thanks,
