[OPLINLIST] scanning charges

[Chad Neeper]

Hurt/Battelle Memorial Library in West Jefferson has a public 
multi-purpose color copier with scanning capabilities. We currently have 
it set up to scan documents to a network location accessible by patron 
workstations. Demand for this feature is moderate, and slowly 
increasing. Library staff are happy to assist patrons at no fee. Patrons 
are able to access/e-mail/manipulate/copy their scanned documents on a 
patron workstation...no fees. The only charge incurred by the patron is 
if the patron decides to print the document (back to the multi-purpose 
color copier). Standard printing fees then apply. Since the 
copier/scanner is in a public area, repeat customers are able to work 
with less staff assistance.
