We have had ScanPro for several years now and our Gov Docs section bought one too. It was difficult to learn how to use. We gave tutorials to all the librarians. It's main advantage is it is the only scanner that scans opaque microcards. It doesn't print but you can send the image to email or a scanner. And we have a large collection if microcards. It's possible we just decided not to hook it to a network printer.

Hi serialists,

 

We are considering purchase of a ScanPro microfilm scanner/reader and would like to hear feedback from anyone who has experience with them. If you have experience with similar products, we’d like to know about that, too!

 

Please respond to the list, so others can benefit from your knowledge.  ;)
