Basic computer skills are required. These are self-serve workstations and library staff are not trained to provide technical support. Staff can show you where to find the technical support content on the workstation desktop and where the workstation manuals are located to assist you with basic functionality (e.g., how to videos, manuals, etc.).

You must supply your own file storage media (e.g., writeable CD/DVD, USB Drive, cloud drive account for upload via internet, etc.) to save your digitized files to. The Digitization Station computer will be wiped of all data and user activity once your session is over.
Note: The library is not responsible for any damage customers may incur to their personal property when using this workstation.
