Scanning | Columbia Law School

Scanning

The library has book and paper scanners and microfilm/microfiche readers/scanners available for use by patrons.

Book and Paper Scanners

The library possesses three public scanners for use with books and papers. Two are located on the Third Floor, one is located on the Fourth Floor. The scanner software includes an on-line manual. On one of the Third Floor scanners, a video demonstrating the use of the scanner plays regularly when the scanner is not in use. The scanners can send the information via email to the patron or the information may be saved to a USB device.  Users are asked to limit their scanning sessions to 30 minutes so that other patrons may also use the scanners.  When scanning, it is best to keep individual files to no more than 40 pages so that the file may be delivered through email.

Microform Readers/Scanners

The library has two machines on the Third Floor that read and scan microfilm and microfiche. Please refer to our microform request instructions.
