[Michlib-l] Charge for scanning?

[Donna Winter]

Yes, we do have people scanning documents to attach them to emails. I think it's part of the not-so-new technology being widely adopted. Why fax to a dept. when you can email directly to a specific person? 

We do not charge for scanning as there are no materials costs involved (ink, fax line charges).

Subject: [Michlib-l] Charge for scanning? 

Our library is finding that more and more patrons use our copy machine to scan documents to email, and I’m beginning to wonder  if this is a way to avoid fax charges.  Are other libraries are experiencing this and if so are you charging for scans?   
Thanks for your feedback.
