Speaking of fiche scanners that you like, I am looking into digital microform
scanners that allow the patron to view on a computer monitor, print to a laser
printer, or email the image to themselves. If anyone on the list is using
one, please let me know what you think off-list. I will be happy to
summarize.

TIA!
