Libraries Choose the ScanPro 2000
   for Ease of Use, Performance and Value



The most prestigious institutions in the world choose the ScanPro 2000.
The ScanPro 2000 is the most durable, easy to use, versatile microfilm scanner available. The world's leading
universities, libraries and private companies have been choosing e-Image Data microfilm scanners for more than
20 years and no other equipment on the market can match the ScanPro 2000 for its track record of
performance and reliability. And its intuitive software makes working with microfilm fun for both experienced and
first-time users.



The ScanPro 2000 does what no other microfilm equipment on the market can:
It makes working with microfilm efficient, easy and fun.

    The ScanPro 2000 customizable tool bar makes it so much easier to use
    microfilm and reduces the need for patron training.
    Use the on-screen magnifier to inspect the smallest text or image detail at
    up to 500%.
    Automatic controls like image adjustment, brightness and straightening
    makes working with microfilm easy, efficient and fun.
    Use AUTO-Scan to scan an entire roll of film automatically.
    The WORD-Search function allows users to search for key words within
    on-screen documents.

                                                 are coming in 2011.

                                                   Project MUSE is very excited about the upcoming launch
                                                 of our e-books collections, a new initiative to incorporate

                                                 content offerings. Beginning in July 2011, Project MUSE
                                                 will offer e-books collections for purchase alongside its
                                                 existing journal collections.
                                                  An integrated discovery environment will allow end users to
                                                 browse and search journal and book content side-by-side. Project
                                                 MUSE currently has commitments from nearly 30 publishers to
                                                 offer forthcoming scholarly monographs in our collections.
                                                   As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we remain committed
