=Riverton FamilySearch Library Resources - Detailed Information and Specifications=

=Book Scanner=

One CZUR Aura Book Scanner is available to scan, books, magazines, booklets, pamphlets, etc. With an open book, both pages are scanned and then converted into individual images of the left and right side pages. After scanning, the images may be edited, adjusted, and converted to editable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. Images may also be saved as a multi-page regular PDF file or a searchable PDF file. You will need to bring a USB drive to save your scanned images and files. =Photo Scanners with an attached Flatbed Scanner= There are three high speed, high quality Kodak PS80 Photo scanners available for scanning photographs. Two have legal sized (8-1/2" x 14") flatbed scanners and one has a tabloid sized (up to 12" x 18") flatbed scanner for over size photos or large photo albums. You will need to bring an 8 GB or larger USB drive (3.0 USB drive recommended) to save your scanned photo files.

Note: Unless you need the large flatbed scanner, please schedule one of the other two Kodak Photo Scanners (below). If they are not available, you may select this one with the large format flatbed scanner.




 * For a successful experience, consider the following:
 * The photo scanning station includes a flatbed up to 12" by 18" plus a separate 2-sided batch scanner
 * Ensure all sticky material is removed from photos
 * Organize photos to maximize time on the scanner
 * Separate photos by type -- color, black & white, paper documents -- these groups will be scanned differently
 * Bring a flash USB drive with at least 8Gb or more of available space for a single session. [3.0 USB drive is strongly recommended]
 * Plan to complete all efforts on the scanner within the scheduled time period

The scanners may be used only with the assistance of trained staff. Please Note: Scanners may be reserved in one-hour-and-forty-five-minute sessions to scan material, plus fifteen minutes to wrap up and save to a USB drive.
