Using the Scanners

Scanners are available for use by all library users, but in busy times, priority is given to current students, faculty, and staff.

Scanned materials may be printed out, attached to email, or saved to personal digital storage. They will not be stored on College equipment after the end of the scanning session.

Scanning of copyright-protected materials is subject to the same restrictions as printed or photocopied materials.
