To: Multiple recipients of list IMAGELIB

We charge $1.50 for each scan and 20 cents for each
print (We are a public institution and are supposed
keep our charges as low as possible for our
researchers).  We will scan up to 400 dpi which is the
maximum optical resolution of our scanner.
Researchers have not yet wanted to take digitized
image files with them.  Just the laser prints.  If they
want a file, the researcher would have to provide their
own blank disk.   We do the scanning as an easy way
of getting positive images of our negatives.

Please post to the listserv a summary of your responses (or send me a copy).

Sincerely,

Peter J. Roberts Georgia State University mailto:LIBPJR@LANGATE.GSU.EDU

mailto:<mailto:jsongste@WINSLO.OHIO.GOV> 09/21/95 02:03pm >>> I would like to know of other institutions who make photographs and other items available to patrons in digitized formats both as a print out and as a file on a disk. What are your policies regarding formats, costs, etc.? The Ohio Historical Society is thinking about this as an alternative to the traditional photo-duplication. You can respond directly to me and I will be happy to share the information with the list if there's interest.

Thanks.
