<div dir="ltr">I've set a few libraries up to let their public copiers scan to a network folder, which can then be accessed from the public computers. Some also have a mail server configured, so a patron can scan and then e-mail themselves the scanned document. The copiers usually support multiple page scans to either a multi-page TIFF or PDF document. Depending on the copier, it may also have a multi-page sheet feeder for times when there are a lot of pages to scan.<div><br></div><div>A relatively cheap and simple solution could also be a document scanner on a patron computer. For my own use, I have an HP ScanJet that has a multi-page feeder that works well. One down-side to a scanner on a patron computer, however, is that the software is often multiple steps from start to completion and might get a little confusion for a novice. Using a copier as a scanner can sometimes be a slightly simpler solution.<br><div><br></div><div>I'm curious what others do, too...</div><div><br></div><div>HTH,</div></div><div>Chad</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in libraries and schools</i></font><br></div></div></div></div>

<div>I am looking for some input. We are getting requests from patrons who would like to scan using a multi-page sheet feeder. Do any of you use one in a public environment? Any recommendations? Thanks for your help!</div>
