Application to Borrow A Microfilm Scanner

The microfilm scanner is the ST Imaging ViewsScan 4. The ViewScan 4 can view roll microfilm, microfiche, aperture cards, and jackets. The ViewScan 4 has an 18-megapixel camera and the included software creates compact files with stunning quality, whether black and white or grayscale.

The overhead scanner is the CZUR ET-18 Pro book scanner that can digitize up to 18.89” x 14.17” with a thickness up to 1.96”. Simply use with your computer (XP, Win 7/ 8/10/11,32/64-bit; macOS 10.11 and above).  This overhead scanner can be used to digitize oversized materials as well as bound materials that are too fragile to be scanned on a flatbed scanner.

The Mustek A3 1200S flatbed scanner can scan up to 600 ppi with a maximum scanning size of 11.6” x 16.4”. The lid easily detaches giving you the ability to scan bound materials that can lay flat. This scanner is compatible with Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP (Service Pack 3), Mac OS X 10.7~10.12, and Linux Ubuntu 1604 (32bit/64bit) / Fedora 24 (32bit/64bit).
