Stop by and use our Scan Station!

Come check out our Scan Station! Located right at the Reference Desk, this station allows you to scan books, documents, and photos, which you can then print, e-mail, upload to Google Docs, or save to a flash drive. (Save or e-mail in three formats: PDF, Word, or JPEG!)

Here are just a few examples of what you can use the Scan Station for:
  • Scan a copy of your resume, convert it into a PDF, and e-mail it to yourself (Instead of downloading software at home)
  • Scan a printed version of your resume, upload it to Google Docs, and then convert it into an editable Word document (Instead of re-typing the whole thing from scratch) 
  • Scan papers and e-mail them to your recipients (Instead of having to fax them)
  • Scan book pages and print them in color (Instead of using the black & white copier)
  • Scan recipes out of cookbooks and e-mail them to yourself (Instead of lugging home a giant cookbook when you only need a few pages out of it)
  • Scan an article out of a new magazine and e-mail it to read later at home (Instead of being restricted to library-use only)
Need any help? Ask us at the Reference Desk, we'd be more than happy to show you how it works!
