The scan-on-demand movement
Barbara Fister writes: “Penn is the latest university to offer scan-on-demand with quality print output. Emory uses the same Kirtas machine to offer a curated collection of books. Michigan has an Espresso machine standing by to instantly print copies. Cornell sells thousands of scanned books printed on demand through Amazon’s POD company.
