Announcing Walk-Up Document/Image Scanning @ Luce Library




Announcing Walk-Up Document/Image Scanning @ Luce Library




Stephen B. Luce Library announces the availability of our new Knowledge Imaging Center or KIC machine, a high-quality scanning and copying station. Located on the first floor of the library, the convenient “KIC” machine boasts a variety of unique design features that includes an easy-to-use touch screen, a large format scanner bed that lets you capture documents up to 17” x 24”, and the ability to save scanned files to usb flash drives, mobile devices, or send them by email.  The option to print is also available.  

Its V-cradle allows for making quick black and white and full color digital scans of textbooks, journal articles, and personal documents with the option to clip/crop images on the touch screen. Most of all, the service is free to all Maritime users.
 
Designed for continuous use, the cutting edge KIC machine helps avoid many technical problems associated with poor copy quality, blurry images or text, and paper jams. This allows for a more sustainable workflow for students and staff by reducing paper output and toner use. We hope you enjoy our new enhanced scanning system for your document and imaging needs.  Special thanks to the Department of Information Technology for supporting the acquisition of the KIC.
