[Michlib-l] Handling Faxes

[Kelly Bennett]

1. Yes (we use FAX24)
2. No (it's in the same room as our self-service copy machine, very close
to the Circulation Desk)
3. We tell patrons that inquire about faxing that it is a self-service
machine and give them basic directions but tell them that if they need
help, they can see someone at the desk. If a patron insists on help before
trying it, we will help.
4. For incoming faxes, patrons can have them sent to our staff machine for
$1.00 a page. It's a relatively rare occurrence, and those that do it will
call ahead so that we can look out for it and set it aside for them to pick
up.
