The scanner is courtesy of the American Library Association, which gave away 11 such devices at its summer conference.
A news release:
The Berkley Public Library now has a self-serve scanner available for public use. The scanner can accept single pages and is specially designed to accommodate the scanning of books.
Scanned images can be easily manipulated using the touch-screen monitor. Software on the machine gives options for modifying the images as well. Images can be sent to an email address or saved to a flash drive for easy portability in a variety of file formats.
