<div class="moz-cite-prefix">We bought a Minolta SL1000 reader. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/wps/portal/web/home/products/office-systems/scanners/sl1000-microfiche">http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/wps/portal/web/home/products/office-systems/scanners/sl1000-microfiche</a><br>
Don't have it's cost right now.<br>
<br>
It requires a high end PC which we bought locally (about $1,350)
following their provided specs.<br>
The reader s/w can use touch screen but we opted for a regular
one.<br>
Volunteers also use the PC for transcribing various documents such
as wills and for other purposes.<br>
<br>
We connected our old state provided Dell printer but could have
used a network printer.<br>
<br>
The old machine is still used for viewing only, as it is faster to
scan pages.<br>
<br>
Future plans are to digitize the rolls ourselves and put on our
memory website.<br>
<br>
I can provide our local distributor's name & number if you
want.<br>
He did a onsite demo for us and training later.<br>
<br>
You are welcome to visit us and try. (Visits come with a
library and Evergreen ILS tour)<br>

<pre wrap="">I am interested in learning more about the cost difference between digitizing our microfilm collection vs. purchasing a microfilm machine with printing capabilities. We currently have a microfilm machine (and loads of film), but it cannot print. Does anyone have any thoughts? I must also add we are a VERY small library with limited means...
Thanks so much!!
