Scanners
Scanners are located in the Social Sciences, Business, Education and Behavioral Sciences, Special Collections, and Maps Libraries, plus the Gateway Commons, Reserve Reading Room, and the Music and Media Center in Pattee and Paterno Libraries. Most branch libraries also have a scanner station. A Penn State ID and password is required to use these workstations.
Scanners are also available for Penn State students, faculty and staff in a number of ITS labs. For a list of ITS and other scanning non-library scanning resources, see Scanning Resources for Students at Penn State, prepared by I-tech staff.
Currently, there are no free slide scanners available on the University Park campus.
There are two departments that can scan slides for a fee:
