On the main floor of the library, you can find a flatbed scanner and an overhead scanner. These scanners allow you to view your scans immediately and adjust accordingly. If your scan is too big to email, you will need to save it to a USB drive.

Library Printer 1, Library Printer 2, and the Co-Lab Copier also serve as scanners. However, you will not be able to view the scans until after you email them to yourself.
