At Brandon, we have a dedicated scanner for patron use. They can scan as much as they want, as often as they want. There is no charge for this. Many of our patrons use our scanner for saving old pictures in digital format. When I worked the desk I did not have patrons that were trying to circumvent paying for faxes by scanning their documents and emailing them.
Hope this helps,
~Julie

Subject: [Michlib-l] Charge for scanning?
Our library is finding that more and more patrons use our copy machine to scan documents to email, and I’m beginning to wonder if this is a way to avoid fax charges. Are other libraries are experiencing this and if so are you charging for scans?
Thanks for your feedback.
