<div><div dir="auto">Hi all,</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Another possibility might be for your college to consider purchasing a small-medium size tabletop guillotine if you cannot get to campus, Staples and your campus print shops are closed. Certainly would not work for large books and you’d have to have some kind of plan or process in place to rebind the books. Here’s an example of one book guillotine for up to 1.5” thickness: <div><a href="https://officeequipmentmachineshop.com/products/Martin-Yale-7000E-Commercial-Stack-Paper-Cutter?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=&scid=scplp30821&sc_intid=30821&gclid=Cj0KCQjwncT1BRDhARIsAOQF9LloW5SveRcY0aWQuJ0ls-n1Zx3ToTZqiC3lLPAgFhczmJZNX3ijFRkaArI3EALw_wcB">https://officeequipmentmachineshop.com/products/Martin-Yale-7000E-Commercial-Stack-Paper-Cutter?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=&scid=scplp30821&sc_intid=30821&gclid=Cj0KCQjwncT1BRDhARIsAOQF9LloW5SveRcY0aWQuJ0ls-n1Zx3ToTZqiC3lLPAgFhczmJZNX3ijFRkaArI3EALw_wcB</a></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This suggestion might work for some, especially when combined with Susan Kelmer’s suggestion that the students have books shipped to her directly (a big time saver!). </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Wink Harner </div></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 8:42 AM Cassandra Tex <<a href="mailto:clt3@humboldt.edu">clt3@humboldt.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_-7127000299941034376WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Hi Debbie,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I think this is how I’ll be able to do it….go into the office for a short period of time to scan the book without interacting with anyone.

You might want to look at your stay at home regs and see if there's leeway for a singular task like scanning a book for a student.

I am fortunate that I have a good quality duplexing scanner at home, because I do book conversion on the side as well as for the University. So far, I’ve asked students to not buy books until I can see if I can get files, and if I can’t, then I have the student purchase the book but have it shipped directly to me. I then make a calculated run to Office Depot or Staples to have the book cut. I scan it and send files to the student. If the student needs their book back right away, I use Office Depot to re-bind (spiral) and then ship it back to them.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">The university is refunding my costs, as I submit them.
