Scanning

There are six scanners available for patron usage in the Walker Library.  

     

One scanner is located on the first floor in the Electronic Information Center (EIC) area.   The EIC is located on the right, just as you enter the Library. As you enter this area, the scanner will be to your front/left.

     

The other five are located on the second floor.   Walk past the elevators toward the book stacks.   Turn right down the first row of computers.   Walk past the printer and you will see the scanners on the right.   They face the old, brown Microtext readers.

If you have any questions, please check with the EIC student worker on the first floor.
