New scanner
This year, the Arts Library replaced our older flatbed scanners with a new KIC model. The new scanner is located next to the two library photocopiers. It costs 16 cents per image to e-mail or save to a flash drive, and has a number of capabilities. It can create color or black and white scans, and goes up to 400 dpi in JPEG, PDF, or TIFF files. It also has the capability of cropping images, and scanning one or two pages from a book at a time.
Though used more heavily by patrons in Art and Architecture, this scanner can also be quite useful for researchers in performing arts fields. It is preservation friendly, so we often allow scans of rare film periodicals in cases where photocopying isn’t allowed. It also creates much crisper image reproductions, when a particular image photocopies poorly or needs to be created in color.
If you’d like a short tutorial on using the KIC scanner, please let me know.
