Color Scanning come to the Jeremy Richard Library
We’ve just installed a new Bookscan machine in the library. Come and try it out! Scanning is Free! Our new Bookscan machine is located on the first floor, right next to the library photocopy machine.
With BookScan, you can send scanned images to your e-mail address, where they will arrive as attachments, or you can save them at the library on your flash drive.
BookScan can convert the scanned image to a number of file formats including: pdf, jpg, and tiff. It can even translate printed text into Word .doc format so it can be utilized in your word processor*.
