Northbrook, IL, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — For an eleventh consecutive year, ST Imaging has been recognized with the Platinum Modern Library Awards (MLAs) from LibraryWorks for the ViewScan 4 on-demand microfilm scanner. ST Imaging, a Digital Check brand, is a worldwide leader in the design and manufacturing of digital microfilm viewer/scanners, and the only microfilm scanner manufacturer to continuously receive the Platinum MLA for all eleven years.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as a leading microfilm scanner by librarians,” says Matt Anderson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ST Imaging. “The eleventh consecutive Modern Library Award with Platinum distinction demonstrates the high effort the ST Imaging team constantly puts into developing our microfilm scanning solution.”
Over the past two decades it has become evident that not only are microfilm scanners expected to create crisp and clear digital images but the scanning software must also be intuitive to use. With dozens of interviews and hundreds of conversations, the ease of use of a microfilm scanner is one of the highest demands.
As most people are not experts in the field of microfilm image capture, ST Imaging’s PerfectView software makes working with the challenging medium simple. Library patron images are always in PerfectFocus and the simple color-coded display makes understanding the software uncomplicated.
Jenny Newman, publisher and MLA program manager said, “ST Imaging’s ViewScan continues to set the standard for microfilm scanners in the library industry with their 11th consecutive Platinum distinction.”
The Modern Library Awards was created to recognize the top products for the library industry. With their database of over 90,000 librarians, LibaryWorks distributes product submissions for unbiased judging. Only users of the products in their facilities are permitted to judge the products.
