[OPLINLIST] Document scanning service

[Jessica D. Dooley]

Hello,

 

Would you share your opinions and practices about charging patrons for
document scanning? If your library provides the public with self-serve
document scanning, is it free, or do you charge? We currently provide
document scanning (to USB only) free of charge, via our coin-op managed
public copiers. We're planning to make the switch to a Book Scan center,
that offers copying/faxing/scanning/printing, all in one unit. Our vendor
would like us to charge for scanning, just as for the other services, but
I'm not entirely comfortable charging for an ephemeral service. Are any
libraries currently charging patrons for scanning?

 

Thanks for your feedback,
