Storage Media at the Copy Center

A lesser known fact (or maybe I am the last to learn this): the copy center sells formatted computer disks as well as CD-Rs. So when patrons using the MicroFilm Scanners need an alternative to printing, e-mailing, and saving to a flash drive, they can purchase these disks and CD-Rs at the Copy Center!

NOTE FROM MARGARET: CD-R's are the best option, as computer disks (3 1/2" floppy) do not have enough storage space for what most patrons need for scanning microfilm/fiche. In fact, I have never seen a patron be able to successfully save to a floppy disk because there just isn't enough room for the large scanned files.
