Some research libraries in Stockholm (at archives and museums) have put up book scanners that the public can use. They have the same function as a public copier, but you get your copies on a USB stick rather than on paper.
Nice, are they all scanners like this? https://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil:Allm%C3%A4nhetens_bokscanner_Vitterhetsakademiens_bibliotek_1.JPG
The only thing I know about is that some (few) libraries let you use copiers of this sort to scan books and have them on USB drive, email or HTTP/FTP server: http://usa.kyoceradocumentsolutions.com/americas/jsp/Kyocera/productdetails.jsp?pid=20998 In theory two separate C-levels of my university promised me to make one or more available to students using a fraction of the 6-figures budget for copiers, but you can't imagine the internal fights there are in my universities around copiers.
