I was asked by several folks to post responses that I got pertaining to
maps plotter policies.
I was also asked to provide information on the maps plotter we
purchased. This maps plotter allows us to print, scan, and copy. It also
comes with a USB port which can connect to your flash drive, laptop,
phone, etc.

What made us realize this was the way to go was the fact that the new
USTOPO 2011 quadrangle maps would cost us $ 15.00/sheet to buy. WA State
has 1,456 topo. sheets which would have cost us
*$ 21,840.00* to purchase just our own state. Can you imagine the cost
for California, Texas, Florida, Ohio, etc.? Buying a plotter was a lot
cheaper way to go.
Please continue sending map plotter policies. We need as much input as
possible. In order for us to charge, we have to create a price list
which will need to be approved by the university's Board of Trustees.
Thank you for all the responses you have sent thus far.
*Responses to Map Plotter Policies:*
I will be interested in the feedback you get about the plotter! We got
one this summer, and since it is up here in the Data/GIS office, we let
whoever comes in use it, which is usually one or two people every few
weeks... as long as it’s related to Data or GIS. I’m thinking that as
word gets around we might have to do some charging / rules, but for now
people really appreciate having somewhere to print out their maps.

Information about the UGA Map Library's large format copy, scanning &
printing services, including prices, can be found here:
_http://www.libs.uga.edu/maproom/about/services.html#copy_
Two things to note about our services. Large format scanning & printing
is not self service; UGA Map Library staff members do all large format
scanning/printing for patrons.Although the hardware is not hard to use,
it's easy to break & VERY expensive to replace – much
better/safer/faster to have trained staff members do the scanning.This
also lets us moderate what gets sent through our sheet-fed scanner; some
items are too fragile to scan this way.Because it's not self-service, we
charge per item scanned, digital or print output.
Also, we have a 10 item per day/25 item per week limit on the number of
items we'll scan for users.I put this in place a couple of years ago
after an unaffiliated patron wanted us to scan a 200+ sheet set of
Panama in a couple of hours (among other things, not physically possible
on our scanner).

Carlos,
Here at the Illinois State Library I am the only one to operate our
plotter. We charge $1 per sq. ft. for color copies or scans and .25 per
sq. ft. for b&w. We don't allow patrons or other members of the staff to
operate the plotter---things can get complicated quickly depending on
what a patron wants (we don't have a lot of walk-in traffic, and those
that do don't want a crash course in plotter operation) and we have
reoccurring problems with the plotter software (hopefully you're not
stuck with HP). I do have back-ups for when I'm out of the office.
Cheers!

Hi Carlos:
The Library's Express Document Center has the plotter and scanner.They
are not self-service, same service site students go to for any other
copying or printing.I've included the link for the plotter pricing.I
don't think they have a pricing sheet for the scanner.

Hi Carlos,
Basic information about our large format scanner/plotter is at:
_http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/scanning_,
and an FAQ is at:
_http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/scanning_faq_.
Like others have mentioned about their services, our scanner/plotter is
not self-service - only trained staff use it.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
