ST Imaging Receives Platinum Award from LibraryWorks’ Fourth Annual Modern Library Awards

NORTHBROOK, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ST Imaging, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of digital microfilm viewer/scanners announces their fourth consecutive Platinum award from LibraryWorks’ fourth annual Modern Library Awards (MLAs). The ST ViewScan is the only microfilm scanner to have won the Platinum MLA in all four years.

“ST Imaging is proud to receive our fourth Modern Library Award with Platinum distinction. It is a testament to the ease of use and the high quality of our scanners that, year after year, library professionals judge the ViewScan as one of the best in the industry. This drives us to continue to bring the very best technology to the world of microfilm scanning,” said Matt Anderson, Vice President of Marketing for ST Imaging.

The MLAs were created to recognize top products in the library industry in a truly unbiased format. Products were submitted by companies, collected by LibraryWorks which distributes them to their database of more than 80,000 librarians at public, K-12, academic, and special libraries. Only customers who have had experience with these products in their facilities were permitted to judge the products, resulting in a truly unbiased score.

ST Imaging designed the ViewScan around the patron experience and is regarded as the easiest to learn and use microfilm scanner on the market. The new ViewScan 4 from ST Imaging has taken simplicity even further by implementing the PerfectFocus feature that delivers images in immaculate, continuous focus. While older reader/printers and other microfilm scanners can be difficult to use, the ViewScan makes loading and scanning film quick, fun, and easy. The ViewScan also allows users to share their discoveries like never before. Patrons can quickly save to a USB drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, email, FamilySearch, OCLC, and of course, can print.

We understand that most of our customers are not experts in the field of image capture. That is why we describe our camera size by the capacity of our image sensor, as is the case for most cellphones and digital cameras. The ViewScan uses a native 14mp color image sensor to create the images. With such a large image sensor there is no need for the ViewScan to refresh, giving you a clear image instantly. Competitive scanners that have not previously won an MLA award may use a different definition of camera. Be sure you have accurate information on the camera in your microfilm scanner and if you have any doubt, request a side-by-side demonstration.
