We operate the same as Livonia.  No reason to charge for scanning.

Yes, we do have people scanning documents to attach them to emails. I think it's part of the not-so-new technology being widely adopted. Why fax to a dept. when you can email directly to a specific person?

 

We do not charge for scanning as there are no materials costs involved (ink, fax line charges).

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.
