Scanning Tips
Here are some tips for using the scanner in the basement of Wilson.
1. Don't let the staff, especially the receptionist, intimidate
you...perhaps try going over the confrontation in your head before you go
in.
2. the scanner can be found by going past the font desk (on the
right)....through to the back....take a right...you will be in a large
scarry corridor that smells of old coffee...you are headed in the right
direction...after a few yards you will see an old scanner...it is actually
part of the NC historical archives I think.
3. Leave pleanty of time to scan...both the CPU and the scanner are the
industry's version of the Model T.
4. Don't complain, cause we are luicky to not have to pay 3 bucks a copy.
5. Spend the money you save at the J-school happy hour (gradstudents) and
Margarrita thursdays at Hector's Down Under (grads and undergrads with
fake IDs).
6. I saved my scans as picts cause I think that when I open those up in
Photoshop that it will work.
6.1 Bring several mac disks if you have several scans to do.
7. Giff-Converter (app) does not work on that computer.
9. Use the elevator to go between the 4th and 1st floor.
10. Humor Micheal Taft and staff with tasteless jokes off the
internet ( just kidding use tasteful jokes and say thanks).
