I knew we had gotten some scan units similar to this for a couple of the libraries here at UIUC and from a quick look it seems to be the same unit. I’ll probably take the opportunity to play around with both one of these days. If I do I’ll try to remember to put a review on here about it and compare them with the “normal” copiers as well.

Will try this one last time. I’ve lost my comments a couple of times now, and your captcha is giving me a huge amount of trouble. Stupidly I keep forgetting to copy and paste what I’m typing in here, since this blog also nukes comments when a mistake is made.

We just got some new copiers here which have a usb port and also offer a scan option. I haven’t had a chance to try it, but I like the idea of using something that most people are already familiar with. It might also save some paper as students realize “hey, wait, I can just scan this to a usb drive and not worry about hauling paper around right now”. Of course, I’m not sure how many people will do this at this point. Love the network idea, but I would think that most email accounts wouldn’t be able to handle that many images.

Would be interesting if this allowed a cataloging option as well – when someone scans something, besides sending a copy to themselves, they could enter basic cataloging info and give the library a digital copy that could be made available to others.

I graduated recently from Drexel, and found a similar machine at Hagerty Library to be *very* useful. Emailing oneself a PDF of a journal article is much more useful, and versatile, than simply photocopying it.

How long until these are in public libraries too?
