Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special report looks closely at how libraries acquire, deploy and maintain their photocopiers. It reports on how much libraries spend to acquire photocopiers, how much they spend on supplies and maintenance contracts, which suppliers they choose, and what their future plans are for photocopiers in the library. The study gives detailed data on library revenues from photocopiers, and the range of photocopy and related services offered. The study helps librarians to answer questions such as: what is the future of library photocopying? How much revenue do photocopiers bring in? What kind of supply purchases and maintenance contracts do peer libraries have and what do they cost? Which photocopier brands do they favor and why? How many photocopies of what type are produced in the library? What advice do librarians and others offer to their peers on photocopier management? Data is broken out separately for public, academic and special libraries and by library size.
