Is anyone familiar with the DLSG book scanners? I am very technologically challenged but would like to hear from libraries that have them and if they are used a lot and for what purpose. Copyright issues involved? Any help in understanding this would be appreciated. I received a call from a DLSG rep this morning about a promotional thing they are doing with small libraries.
