Scanners

The libraries provide different types of scanners: 

  • Flatbed scanners for scanning photos or short documents. Scanned files can be saved to the resident computer.
  • Overhead (KIC/Bookeye) scanners for scanning large or fragile books. Scanned files can be sent to email or saved to USB Drive.
  • BookScan stations for scanning books or multiple-page documents. Scanned files can be sent to email, saved to USB Drive or Google Drive, or faxed.
  • A map and large-format document scanner (Context HD Ultra i4250s Color Scanner) for high-resolution imaging of NU collection's maps, posters and other large format documents.
  • Microform scanners (Konica-Minolta SL1000; Konica-Minolta MS6000 MKII/7000 MKII) which can digitize images from NU Libraries’ collections of microfilm, microfiche and microcards.
