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).

We just purchased a nifty maps plotter that can print, scan, and copy and has a USB connection. We will meet today to discuss policy on its usage, how much to charge, can community members use it, etc. I would like to hear from all of you as to what is your policy on maps plotter usage at your library. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ,-~~-.___. / | ' \ "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of ( ) 0 the few or the one." \_/-, ,----' ==== // Mr. Spock / \-'~; /~~~(O) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan / __/~| / | =( _____| (_________| Carlos A.
