Scanning and Printing

scanning and printing in the Map Library

Scanning
Three public scanning workstations (11″x17″ flatbed scanners) are available for digitizing and saving digital versions of select library materials.

Large Format Scanning
The Map Library offers complimentary large format scanning of Robinson Map Library materials to University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty, staff, and students for educational/research-related projects, course assignments, or presentations. We may collaborate with other academic libraries, historical societies, or government entities on preservation scanning projects, but we are not a public scan service. We are unable to facilitate scanning of documents from privately held collections. Guidelines:

  1. All scan requests must be accompanied by a signed UW Map Library Scan Request Form – available within the library.
  2. Map Library staff must perform the scanning (our scanner is not for public use)
  3. We have a 24hr+ turnaround time
  4. We reserve the right to reject scanning items that are too fragile to handle or might damage the scanner.

Map Library workstations can also print to a color laser printer (8.5×11 only) located in room M376 of Science Hall. Cost is $0.60 per page and a UW Wiscard must be used.
