RE: [Genealib] Copying question

[Brannan, Joyce A.]

Our regular copying machine, where patrons copy for themselves is 10
cents per page.  If we have to copy for people, it is 25 cents per page
plus $5 service charge plus postage if we have to mail whatever we copy.
In reality, we only charge the service charge for more than 15 minutes
of our time.  The only complaints we have ever had was from an able
bodied male that found several books in our collection that he needed
about 100 pages total copied.  He didn't want to be bothered standing at
the copier himself.  He expected one of us to just do it for him and he
would be back the next day.  He wouldn't pay it and sent some relative
in the next day to do it for him.

Same price for 1 or 1,000 copies.  This seems to make people mad, who
want copy in bulk, but they use the same amount of toner no matter how
many they copy.

	Good afternoon,

	 

	I have a question regarding photocopying items by patrons from
the Local History room. I was wondering does anyone give a special price
that is higher or lower than the normal price for the Library or do you
have a price for copying large quantities? I have a few patrons who want
to copy essentially the amount of a whole book and was wondering if
there was a way to keep this from becoming a major headache.

	 

	Thank you for using the Mooresville Public Library Special
Collections.
