Dear ARLIS/NA, I am wondering if any of you currently have large format drum scanners in your libraries, either for staff or public use? We are considering the purchase of a scanner, for ourselves and our patrons, but would like to know what other libraries are doing about the service implications. If you do have this kind of equipment in your library, I have some questions: What kind of equipment do you have? Do you allow patrons to use the equipment? If so, is this a mediated transaction? Do you charge a fee? What formats do you, or your patrons scan? Do you have a service model for this equipment? Please reply directly to me with your answers. Thank you for your help in advance.
