The company’s two scanner entries – the Zeutschel ScanStudio and the Crowley UScan+ HD – also garnered Platinum-level awards.
Notes Crowley president, Patrick Crowley, “To be honored with a Modern Library Award is, by extension, to be honored by our customers. Because the awards are based on client and end-user feedback, they are especially gratifying. I find it a testament as well to our manufacturing, imaging, technical support and scanner representative teams for establishing such diverse longevity in both this awards program and the cultural heritage and records management markets in general.”
About MLA Judging
The Modern Library Awards were created to recognize the top products and services in the library industry. Applications were submitted in the Fall of 2021, batched into small groups and sent to the LibraryWorks database of more than 80,000 librarians at public, K-12, academic and special libraries for judging. Only customers having experience with the products or services submitted were permitted to judge, resulting in an unbiased format.
All entries were ranked and scored by direct end-users. Judging was on a scale of 1-10 and covered the areas of functionality, value and customer service.
Crowley’s 2022 Honorees
