You can come up with creative solutions using combinations of apps on your Mac. For instance, to scan documents with your MacBook's camera, you can use Photo Booth to take the pictures, and then Preview to flip them and convert them to a single PDF document. This could be a good alternative to using the copy machine while doing school research.
This is a great tip Gary. I have used an IOS device for making copies at the libary and the advantage to using the camera in the Macbook Pro is that you can use TWO hands to keep the book open. You get confused images while juggling an open book and the IOS device. This makes it so much easier.

You can flip or auto-flip directly with the Edit menu in Photo Booth.
Gary: That book looks like a "How-To" book for Macs you held. Is that the case, and if so where can I buy one?Thanks jac mills
I am holding my "My Pages" book that I have mentioned many times in the past. http://macmost.com/j-mypages
