[OPLINTECH] Scanner for patron use

[Ed]

We have an Epson scanner setup on one public computer to use for 
scanning at our main library. It is similar to this one  It has been 
working well for several years.

It has a fast document feeder on it as well as a flatbed scanner. Its 
connected to one computer via a USB cable. There usually isn't a long 
wait to use it. We installed the scanner software on the computer. I set 
it up to store the scans on the desktop to make them easy to find. 
Patrons can then save them to a USB storage device or e-mail them using 
their web based e-mail account.

At our branch library we have a basic consumer grade flatbed scanner 
that will not work with windows any longer. This USB scanner works fine 
with an Ubuntu Linux Computer.  Since our branch isn't as heavily used 
this economical setup has  been working out well.
