Starting with the Spring 2013 semester, DoIT will be using VueScan software on Macintosh computers which have scanners attached. VueScan is an advanced scanning software that incorporates many graphical editing tools as a part of its functionality and utility. Its high-end performance and stability aims at improving user experience by putting emphasis on the quality of the finished output.
