[Genealib] RE: cost of scanner

[Naukam, Larry]

We have two Minolta ST-200's which are fairly easy to use (if both the
patrons and I can do it, anyone can...). The Scanwrite software that
comes with it, does allow saving to USB, burning a CD disk (or if we
still had floppy drives and the IT dept. would let us) to disk. They are
pretty good, although the Scanwrite software is limited, but it's free.
I have seen ads that they are now going for about 6500-7000. (see
http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-133546842.html).

We got ours for free several years ago because we buy tremendous amounts
of microfilm.
