I fully agree that the library should have these capabilities. I am not sure the
source of funds should come out of the AIS library restricted funds or a small
grant applied to from the Hager trust administrated by the Foundation. I am not
sure the library owns photoshop or even a computer. I think we should discover
what is really needed and make sure that we are getting everything necessary to
do what we hope to have the library do.

Rarely do I reply to comments, but the time has come.
I give seminars around the country. For my PowerPoint presentations I
scan documents, etc. I have a combination printer/scanner, but in my
opinion it's not worth using as a scanner.
Last year I purchased an new HP dedicated scanner, and if you have to
scan many documents that's the way to go. I bit the bullet and bought
a $215.00 scanner. I scan into Adobe Photoshop and create JPG files. I
have had cheaper scanners in the past, but you get what you pay for.
The printer/scanner is OK for one or two documents, but forget it if you
have more than that.
