Modern book scanners are now available at all SLUB locations. These devices were officially introduced in August 2021 and can be used free of charge. Digital scans can be easily created and saved via an app or USB stick. In addition, ScanTents are now also available at all locations. With these scanners, you can easily and conveniently scan books and documents with your own smartphone. With the help of any scanning app (for example, DocScan), the photos can be saved as a searchable PDF document and, if desired, forwarded to another device. A special device for digitising microfilms and microfiches is also available for use free of charge in the Central Library.
