Our copier(s) also have scan/email capabilities. But since we are busy actually checking books out to people (something libraries still do!), helping them find stuff in real journals, fixing the printers, troubleshooting their network connectivity problems, etc (why yes, the help desk IS in the building, they're just never open), we didn't really feel like we had enough time left over to help all the VERY ANGRY people saying "wtf!!! i scanned this thing and then I went and did other stuff and now MY EMAIL DIDN'T COME THROUGH" or "AUGH I ONLY GOT HALF THE PAGES FROM THIS SCAN NOW YOU HAVE TO RESCAN ALL 300 PAGES FOR ME BECAUSE MY PAPER IS DUE TOMORROW AUGH AUGH". Plus the firewall/non-helpful-IT stuff mentioned below. So we disabled it.
*However*, there is a computer lab, in the library, which does have working scanners, and tech people who know what they are doing with them! - and if people ask to scan stuff we send them there, and they can scan stuff. IF that lab is open. Which it actually is most of the time.
