The Xerox DocuMate 510 scanner was installed in the medical library office by our IT staff on October 3, 2008. Since its installation, we have gotten much use from the scanner, as it is used regularly for ILL/document delivery purposes.

The scanner is compact and fits neatly at the corner of the desk. The scan quality is clear and it offers the common editing features, such as removing stray dots, auto straighten, etc. The equipment is easy to use, as well.

We expect to get continued use from this technology in the form of ILL/document delivery. I am certain that borrowing libraries are also happy to receive articles in pdf format, instead of difficult-to-read faxed articles.

As a result of acquiring the Xerox DocuMate 510, we now are able to minimize paper use, provide quick turnaround on all Docline requests, and provide better service to the library community.
