Scanning

The library has free high-quality scanning capability via several of our printer/copier machines on M and A Levels for Hopkins students, faculty and staff. Scanning available on large M Level printers on the left side of the Copy Room and on the one print/copier on A level. All scanning is full-color and is saved by default at a TIFF/PDF format – this can be changed to other formats in Options. Scans can be saved to a USB drive or emailed.

There are also two stand-alone flatbed scanners for general use in GPML on A-Level connected to the computers there. The computers require JHED logins so scanning can only be done by JHU affiliates or patrons who have affiliate logins.

Downloading

On Library public PCs, files can be downloaded to USB drive or floppy disks. Floppy disks for downloading are available for purchase ($0.25 each) from the Circulation Desk on M-Level Sunday-Thursday from 8AM-10PM, and Friday and Saturday from 8AM-8PM.
