Self-service scanning
You can digitalize documents in a self-service manner, due to the special book scanners. Using the scanners, up to 30 pages per minute can be scanned without the need to stretch the books on a glass plate, thus saving the spine. The software automatically straightens the pages after laser scanning. The device enables digitisation of documents up to A3 size and has a character recognition function so that scanned content can be saved not only as images but also as editable text.
There are currently two scanners available to our visitors for a time-based fee in the Reading Hall of the University Library:
- university students, lecturers, researchers: 200 HUF/ 30 minutes
- other visitors: 300 HUF / 30 minutes
