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).

I am hoping folks that have a map plotter can help me out.
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.
