[Michlib-l] Question about scan-to-email policies

[Jenn Donner]

Hi everyone,

We are seeing an increase in patrons wanting our staff to do 
scan-to-email for them and I was wondering if anyone has a policy on how 
many pages such requests can be. We also had one patron who left very 
sensitive legal documents with our librarian (over 100 pages) and said 
they would come back later. The librarian has asked if I can create a 
procedure or policy they can use to stop a patron from doing something 
like this again. Next year we plan on installing new 
copier/printer/scanners so people can do it themselves but we need 
something in place until that time. Or even just a document handling 
policy saying  that patrons have to stay with the librarian until the 
scanning is complete and they get their documents back.

Thanks!
Jenn Donner
