Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. 3 ScanStations featuring all-in-one touchscreens, Duplex Sheet Feed Scanners, & TBS ScanEZ software; We have been using 6 Scan Stations from TBS for the past 10 years, but unfortunately these computers do not support Windows 11. We've decided to downsize to just the 3 Scan Stations (one for Mitchell Memorial Library, one for Giles CAAD Library, and one for Old Main Academic Center). This reduction in ScanStations will result in a yearly savings of 2,385.00 compared to our current support contract with TBS. This quote is for 3 upgraded versions of their Scan Stations running Windows 11 and replacement duplex sheet feed scanners. These ScanStations will hook up to our currently supported flatbed scanners (and retain support) and the replacement duplex sheet feed scanners. The ScanEZ software provides a user-friendly interface with (36) one touch remastered options for patrons/students to choose from for a completely restored image. The software changes the sharpness, vividness and contrast to restore images, photographs, newspapers, etc., to look new again. This allows them to scan documents of their own desired quality without needing to know the unique settings for different scanning software. It also provides built-in functionality for sending the scans via email or copying it onto a USB. All of these features together allow for a self-directed experience requiring little to no assistance and avoiding time-consuming steps like signing into a computer for account creation, signing into an email account in a browser, and needing to know where a scan was stored on a computer to copy onto a drive.
