A method and system for follow-me scanning in a shared resource environment improves image scanning in a shared resource environment in part by decoupling the act of generating a scanned image from the act of identifying a destination for the scanned image. In accordance with the teachings of the invention, a user scans an image on a shared scanner device without identifying a destination for the scanned image. When the user later wants to use the scanned image, the user specifies a destination for the scanned image and the scanned image is sent to the destination. A user can thus without giving any consideration to a destination for a scanned image create the scanned image on an arbitrary scanner device and, at a later time, recover the scanned image using an arbitrary client device. In some embodiments, follow-me scanning is facilitated by a server device that intermediates between scanner devices and client devices and allows the scanned image to be imported directly into workflows and applications running on the client devices.
