Scanning

The FRC has an Epson GT-1500 scanner wsith an auto document feed that is open for faculty to use on a first come first serve basis. Scanning is also a service that we provide. For scanning jobs we request that you provide clean, high quality photocopies of the material to be scanned in order to insure high quality digital copies. If copies are provided, the FRC offers same day service. Without copies, the FRC requires one week minimum to complete. If you fill out a work order form with the book and page numbers we will get you the scanned document within that time period.

Digitizing

If you have old or fragile media (VHS tapes, photographs, overheads, printed or typewritten texts, drawings or other media), they can be preserved through a digitizing process which also makes them available for PowerPoint, word-processing, podcasting, or web posting.

Converting

The FRC can convert between many different video and image formats. If your video or image is in a format that does not open on your computer then bring or send the file to us and we will (attempt to) convert it to a common file type like a .mp4 for video or .jpg for images.
