User Assignment Check with this office
Faculty Need to scan material for course reserve. For materials owned by the library, submit a Library Reserve request form. Library staff will locate items and process. 
If the library does not own the material, deliver a copy of the article or book to the Reserve Desk at the Barnard Library.  Articles will be scanned by staff and linked online within your Reserve List.  Under normal conditions, this service has a 72 hour turn around.  Requests must conform to Copyright guidelines.

Faculty Need to meet publisher guidelines or scan a large number of pages, images or slides with color Send an email to the Help Desk describing  the project and the deadline.  Staff from Educational Technology will meet with you to review your options.  Although we don't have enough staff to handle large projects ourselves, we can train a student or staff member from your department. You can also schedule time to use our scanners.
Staff,
Faculty		 Need high speed scanner. Many pages (or images) to scan or to convert to PDF.  Black and white only.  The copiers in Office Services can be used as high speed black and white scanners—scanning from 200 to 600 dpi. While color originals can be scanned, the output will be black and white or grayscale. 

Offices Services can create Adobe Acrobat pdf files directly during the scan. Alternatively, scanned images can be saved to a standard Group IV TIFF format, which can then be used as images or brought into an OCR program for conversion to various programs, such as Microsoft Word. (Users will need their own OCR software, since Office Services does not provide OCR conversion service at this time.) 

The copiers’ automatic document feeders scan letter size pages at over 50 copies per minute, which presents a huge advantage when someone has more than a few pages to scan. Office Services scanners would thus be ideal for use in high volume OCR or PDF conversions, or when an individual has many images to scan that can be fed through an automatic document feeder and color output is not needed.
