What are the hours of service for the PS7000?
You may place a photocopy/scanning order at the ET2 service desk during the East Tower's hours of operation.
How do I place a photocopy and/or an electronic order?
Please come to the ET2 service desk to request a photocopy/scanning order. You will be asked to fill out a form indicating specific information concerning your order. At this time all orders must be placed in person at the service desk and you must provide the book at the time of order. Orders are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Your request will be processed according the order in which it was received.
The PS7000 Cradle Copier software has the ability to convert electronic photocopy scans into PDF or TIFF file formats. You may place orders for electronic scans the same way you would place photocopy orders.
What is the turn-around time on copy orders?
Orders that are fewer than 25 pages typically may be processed on demand during regular business hours. Copy orders that exceed 25 pages may be completed in 24-72 hours.
Is there a limit to how many copies I can have made?
At this time there is no limit to the number of pages you can request to have photocopied or scanned. Large orders (300+ pages) may require a longer "turn-around-time" than the standard 24-72 hours.
Do I need to provide a CD if I want my book electronically scanned?
Patrons may provide their own CD-R or CD-RW or purchase a CD-R from ET2 for an additional $1.25.
Am I allowed to make the copies myself using the PS7000?
Due to the training required to operate the PS7000, only ET2 staff (or IU staff with special permission) is allowed to operate the machine. Any IU staff member who wishes to operate the PS7000 for library related projects should contact ET2's reference desk for further information.
How can I pay for my copies/scans?
We only accept faculty charge accounts, and personal checks. We do not accept cash or Campus Access cards.
Is there anything you won't scan or photocopy?
Our services are limited to items which are fragile or tightly bound. We will photocopy copyrighted items (i.e. published in 1923 or later), but we do not digitize materials under copyright, with the limited exception of small portions (10% or less of the whole document) for personal use.
Are there alternatives to the cradle copier?
ET2 has five public scanners, which vary in size; there are ten scanners available on the1st floor, East Tower, in front of Main Reference. These computers have CD burners, so a patron may burn their own CD, save the material on a Flash drive, or upload to an OnCourse account. There are also scanners available in the Information Commons and other Student Technology Centers.
What are the rates for photocopies and electronic scans?
Electronic scans only - $0.15 per scan.
Prints - 8.5" x 11" - $0.30 per page.
11" x 17" - $0.35 per page.
Note: Scans are free when prints are purchased.
