Due to the steady increase in demands for the production of digital files & color copies we have set up another shared access workstation to meet the need of patrons with quick, "last minute" or otherwise unscheduled production needs.
This station is located inside the library, directly outside of our Visual Resources Center (VRC). We encourage you to stop by and acquaint yourself with this workstation.
Our VRC station will continue to be available for those patrons that want to guarantee computer time with an advance reservation. The availability of both stations should help better meet the needs during peak demand.
This new set-up is available on a first come, first serve basis. LACFA students, faculty and staff are welcome to make use of this additional workstation without an appointment.
The station is set up with a G5 MacIntosh computer, Epson RX700 scanner and software for image editing and production of digital presentations.
Among its many functions, the Epson RX700 can produce high resolution scans up to 48-bit, 3200 x 6400. It is outfitted with a flat bed scan surface that is standard letter size, slots for media cards, and a special carrier to allow users to scan 35mm slides and negatives to turn them into digital files. In addition the unit provides users with six-color printing and copying.
The Mac G5 computer can produce a variety of types of image file to best suit your needs. The most popular types have been .pdf and .jpg files. Additionally Internet, Apple & Microsoft Office software are accessible on this workstation. As this is a shared workstation, all users will need to save their work to their own portable storage. The library sells CDs for those that wish to save their files to disc.
