[Genealib] ST200 microfilm reader, remote access

[Rhonda Konig]

Bella,

 

Staff loads the microfilm and then patrons can use it from any computer
with Internet access.  Here's the explanation from their website
(http://www.stimaging.com/products_st200.html):

 

 

Remote Film Access System

How it Works:

The ST200 can broadcast a live video feed over the internet

of microfilm images to virtually any remote location without

having to first scan the pages. A roll of film from the host

library's film archive (which may be hundreds or thousands

of miles away), is mounted on the ST200 and the remote

user is given access.

The remote user can zoom in and out, advance and reverse

film, scan, print, and email pages viewed.

	Rhonda,

	Can you please explain in principle how remote access to a
microfilm machine works? How does the film get loaded into the machine,
or who loads the film into the machine? Is this remote access from home,
or from another floor at the library? I'm mentally challenged with
imagining how this operates.

		Our library has just purchased an ST200 digital
microfilm reader/printer from AB Enterprise.  Has anyone created help
sheets for this machine that they'd be willing to share?

		 

		We also anticipate purchasing the remote access module
for this machine in our next budget year.  Does anyone have any words of
wisdom about providing remote access to this or another microfilm
reader?

		 

		Thank you!
