Insert coins into large clunky photocopiers, then wait to process every page. Use a cell phone to take photos of book pages. Until now.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are very proud of this major upgrade in copying services that we offer to our library users,&rdquo; said <strong>Monica Ghosh<\/strong>, interim university librarian. &ldquo;We have invested in scanners that will provide better technology while reducing paper waste, resulting in our campus community and the public benefiting greatly.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Three professional scanners&#8212;representing an investment of $24,000&#8212;were recently installed at Hamilton Library and are now available for public use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Knowledge Imaging Center (<abbr>KIC<\/abbr>) BookEdge scanner in the alcove on the first floor has a 12 by 7 inch flatbed that allows scanning well into the fold of books.<\/li>\n<li>Two <abbr>KIC<\/abbr> Click mini scanners in the alcove and fifth-floor Hawaiian and Pacific Collections Reading Room can handle documents up to 12.25 by 19.2 inches, 30 pages per minute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Users may send the scanned documents to themselves via email or save them to <abbr title=\"Universal Serial Bus\">USB<\/abbr> drives. An additional option is to download an app and send the document to a mobile device and\/or as an audio file to be <abbr title=\"American with Disabilities Act of 1990\">ADA<\/abbr> compliant for users who are visually challenged.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We will be running our photocopiers and newly installed scanners side-by-side until mid-April to July of this year, when most of the copiers are at the end of their leasing period and will be phased out,&rdquo; said Ghosh. &ldquo;We are obligated to have a copier for government documents, so there will always be one in the building. But the scanners are free, whereas the copiers are not.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Happily testing out a new scanner on a recent school day was <strong>Sayaka Sakuma<\/strong>, a <abbr title=\"Doctor of Philosphy\">PhD<\/abbr> candidate in the <a href=\"http:\/\/socialsciences.hawaii.edu\/departments\/index.cfm?subject=GEOG\">Department of Geography and Environment<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/socialsciences.hawaii.edu\/\">College of Social Sciences<\/a>. &ldquo;It took me only a minute to figure out how to use it,&rdquo; said Sakuma. &ldquo;Now I don&#8217;t have to carry around 10 library books before I have to return them.
