Dear All,
At Bolton Archives and Local Studies, we are investigating the possibility
of purchasing/ renting a reader printer for our searchroom and of
introducing self-service copying facilities for microfilm and microfiche.
Copying is currently undertaken by our own staff.
We have been considering factors such as: charges for copying, impact on
staff time, usage of reader printers (is this exclusively for copying),
recordkeeping of usage, copyright restrictions, whether reader printers are
coin operated or users pay at the desk.
We would be very interested to hear from other offices about what kind of
service they provide and what their experiences have been.
Any comments/ ideas gratefully received.
Thanks.
