<P><FONT face=Verdana>We had a scanner at one time but phased it out after it died a natural death. It caused more headaches for the staff and patrons than we wanted to deal with. We have few techie geeks on the staff and most patrons wanting to use the scanner didn't have a clue how to use one. We do have one for staff use only.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Verdana>And no, we don't allow downloading of anything on our public computers (photos, videos, documents from e-mails, etc.) - our security program blocks any downloading. Patrons can save images to cds or memory sticks and use them from there.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face="PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif">We have had a few requests for a document scanner to be available to the<BR>public, and I was wondering if anyone is doing this and what comments you<BR>have about providing this service. I am particularly concerned since one<BR>patron wants to scan checks for deposit directly into a bank account.<BR><BR>I was also wondering if you allow patrons to download pictures directly from<BR>their digital cameras and if so, what type of picture manipulation software<BR>you provide, if any.<BR><BR></FONT></P></BODY>
