Re: Scanning Policies



Hi Troy,

At The Ohio State University Photo Archives, we do not allow patrons to
bring in their own scanners for the following reasons:

1.      Damage to and security of our collections would be a problem.
2.      Limited space in our reference/reading room: we cannot physically
accommodate this equipment, especially when more than one researcher is
using the room at a time.

However, we do own a scanner and do provide scans for patrons.  We will
scan to paper, zip disk, or CD.  We charge $5.00 per image if only saved to
disk and not printed.  Printed to paper, we charge $5.75 for B/W and $8.00
for color.  We also charge $20.00 for zip disks - which encourages most
patrons to provide us with their own disk.

We also never email scanned images because of the drain it causes on our
University's server.

Hope this helps.

Hello all,

I am working on a scanning policy for our Archives and are interested in
any information the very knowledgeable people on the list can provide.   We
would like to know if you allow patrons to bring their own scanners, if you
scan yourself, what you charge, etc.  Any information you can provide would
be helpful.

Thanks
