[Genealib] Digital Film Scanners

[Heather McLeland-Wieser]

Chiming in late on this one.  We have several ST scanners and have had them for 2+ years.  The patrons using them for Census and other handwritten material love them.  They do a beautiful job on this type of image. The patrons who use them for newspapers complain constantly that the images are "pixilated" when printed and too large to read comfortably.  We have had so many complaints from the newspaper folks that we purchased some Minolta scanners for use with newspapers.

I know several libraries have the ST-200 Digital Film Scanner by Anacomp that came out in 2004. http://www.stimaging.com/  Does anyone know of a similar (more improved) product that may have come out since 2004? If not, what is your opinion of the ST-200 and is it being used by your patrons? Thanks as always for your valuable thoughts. Pam Pamela J.
