Here in the Witt Library we have colour photocopy and
scanning facilities. Scanning is offered to students only
and colour photocopying to both students & public. In both
instances we offer assistance. Some students - largely to
save money ( we charge for colour photocopies - with
discount for students) will spend their own time scanning -
but usually taking more of our time as well in training etc
- printed results from our equipment are rarely as good as
the colour photocopier - and scanned image files often too
large for customers to easily take away on disc - If we
provided scanned images for public we would also have to
have stock of discs for them - plus few would have zip
drives or similar for storage of several image files. Most
of our public customers would be unfamiliar with the
equipment and software and would require "lots" of hand
holding. Also there is risk of copyright problems - image
files taken away could then be manipulated - as compared
with simple photocopying taken under standard fair use
rules.
