Northside Branch Library we have a Business Services area with one
scanner-equipped machine which has a variety of image translation, document
creation, and CD/DVD burning applications. We call it a "file
transfer" station and encourage patrons to scan images, edit them, and save onto
optical disks for take-away.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

keep this machine off of the Internet and are able to open up permissions
to a much greater extent as well as keep it from being monopolized by surfers.
We maintain a few loaner jump drives for patrons to use in transferring from the
'net. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE>I am interested in hearing from anyone who has image scanners in
place on public PCs. Do you have a portable scanner and loan it to patrons to
plug into any PC? A specific station with a scanner attached? How much staff
time is spent assisting patrons? Do you charge? Do you have one of those Kodak
machines like I see in Krogers? Any info appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR
