A new tool is now available in the Branch Library Steintor-Campus (Ha 18): ScanTent enables you to effortlessly digitise documents and books with your smartphone.

The DocScan app allows you to capture high-quality images on your smartphone within seconds. The app detects the pages in real time and creates high-quality scans.
