Monitors

The monitor is probably the most ubiquitous computer accessory. Without the graphical display a monitor provides, none of us would be able to get anything done on a computer. Monitors typically come in sizes from 15 inches to 21 inches (measured diagonally). Almost all are now color, but grayscale and monochrome monitors are still available and useful when color is not needed. Flat screen monitors are becoming a more common and inexpensive option when space is at a premium.

See the article, Choosing the Right Monitor, for more information.

Printers

Printers make it possible to print newsletters, labels, envelopes, and any other document that you can create on a computer. Laser printers and inkjet printers are currently the most common technologies in most libraries, but there are still some dot matrix and line printers lying around for printing labels and text. Newer printers can print in almost any font, allow color printing, and provide some relatively amazing print quality when you can afford it. See the article, Printer Primer for more information.

Scanners

If you need to digitize documents, pictures, or make copies, a scanner is the tool. The cost of scanners has gone down dramatically in recent years, and they are becoming a common appliance. Your library can use a scanner with a computer and a modem to fax documents. See the article, Scanners Demystified, for more information.

Modems

For standalone computers, a modem is still the most common way to get online and access the Internet over a phone line. Internal or external, a modem converts a phone line's analog waves into the digital signal that a computer can understand.

See the article, Guide to Modems, for more information.

Digital cameras

Similar to traditional cameras, digital cameras can record images. However, rather than using film, they store the information digitally. While film allows for nearly infinitesimal resolution, digital print quality is limited by the amount of memory that is available in the camera. High-end digital cameras, coupled with high-quality photo printers, now approach the results of a traditional camera. The technology is improving rapidly, and there are many benefits to a digital camera.

• There's no additional processing cost.

• Images can be easily uploaded to a computer.

• Images are nearly Web-ready.

• Instantaneous results -- you can usually view images immediately on the camera's small screen.

Storage

Removable storage such as portable hard drives, Zip drives and disks, and SuperDisk drives and disks can give you more storage than a traditional floppy drive, while allowing you to take the data with you when you need to. In fact, when you purchase an external, removable drive, you can take the whole drive with you. There are numerous brands to choose from and they simply connect to your computer, allowing you to transfer files from your hard drive to the removable storage device.

CD-RW drives

While CD-ROM drives have been around for sometime, they could only be used for reading information (installing software, getting large files, or playing music.). Now, many CD drives are read-write (the RW in CD-RW), which means you can store information on them and pass them on. While in the past, CD-RW discs created with a CD-RW drives could only be read by another CD-RW drive, a new MultiRead standard enables CD-ROM players to read discs created by CD-RW drives.

DVD-ROM drives

DVD (short for Digital Video Disc) is a more recent digital storage technology that can store more information than traditional CD-ROMs. They are also backward compatible --meaning they can also read CR-RW discs and CD-ROMs. The read-only format supports discs with capacities of from 4.7 GB to 17 GB. Because of their capacity, they are becoming a popular way to distribute movies, and may eventually replace CD, VHS, and Laserdisc as the medium of choice for digital audio and video.

Tape drives

As one of the older storage mediums, tape drives store data on special tapes that have relatively high levels of capacity. However, because they access data sequentially (similar to a cassette player), they are too slow for daily access. Many organizations use tape drives for backing up network server data or data that is not needed in a timely fashion.

Computer Accessories

Computers are the primmest requirement in the modern world. Computers have made things simpler and swifter. Some use computers for working, some for listening music, some for games or for videos. The reasons and requirement of the computers may be different but the fact is that people of all ages like and use computers. With the rapid modernizing and transformation in the shapes and models of the computers, additional things with computers have too transformed and become eminent. Computer accessories are some of the most important parts of the computer systems. Hardware used for different purposes are valued as equal to other parts of computer system. Printers these are required for getting prints of the graphic displayed on the screen. Printer has ink generally called cartridge that prints on the paper inserted. Scanners In addition, the scanners are required to get the print material on the screen. The scanner takes the image and displays over the screen Hard drives like CD, DVD or Pen drives are required to transfer data either from pc to drive or drive to pc. In addition, these are also used to watch movies or any audio video files. Headphones are used to hear audio files. Some of the head phones also have the speaker facility that is required to talk and input audio modules. On the other hand, webcams are required to see the moving and live images from one Pc to other ones. People use these both accessories while chatting so that they can hear and see as well. There are many more computer accessories that may be missing in above list. However, all other types of computer accessories are same important functioning and important.
