NEW COPYING SERVICES COMING TO K-STATE'S HALE LIBRARY

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University's Hale Library will soon be providing digital scanners for use by library patrons.

The move comes as K-State printing services will be closing its copy center in Hale Library and consolidating its copy services at its K-State Student Union location. The copy center at Hale Library will close at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 9.

In order to continue providing high-quality, convenient copying services inside the library, the digital scanners will be installed.

With the scanners, library patrons will be able to scan library materials for free and have the option of either saving the resulting files to a flash drive or e-mailing them. Scanners will be available in three locations in the library, and staff members will be available to help patrons who require training or assistance during normal service hours.

The library will retain coin-operated copiers on the first, second and third floors for patrons who need or prefer physical copies. Additionally, full-service copying from K-State printing services, including course packs and large copies, will continue to be available at the K-State Student Union location.
