Narrative
The FAU Libraries would like to enhance our ADA services for students with the purchase of one new flatbed scanner for each of our three campus libraries. Each of our three campus libraries have dedicated space and computer stations for students with disabilities with equipment to assist our students in a myriad of ways. These scanners can be used for students to scan articles, books, and other paperwork. 

 In addition, we would like to add a Livescribe Echo Smartpen for each campus to be checked out for students. The Smartpen can be used to transfer notes and audio to the user’s computer via USB. The student can then replay, send, or email the audio. It can also be saved as a pdf. The pen holds up to 200 hours of audio, has a speaker built in for playback, a high contrast OLED screen, and has ink just like any other pen. These pens would be an excellent addition to our ADA offerings for each campus library.
