This report looks closely
at the efforts of universities, libraries, library consortia
and consultants to digitize books, periodicals, films and
other library materials. The study profiles the efforts of the
University of Kentucky, the University of North Carolina, the
University of Chicago, Luna Imaging, Inc., Orbis Cascade, the
University of Michigan, Northern Micrographics, the California
Digital Library, and the University of Pittsburgh.
The report helps its
readers to answer questions relating to the nuts and bolts of
digitization projects such as when to outsource and when to
handle production in-house, which type of equipment is most
effective, and what quality level should be aimed for? The
study gives detailed descriptions of many current and past
projects, along with suggestions and commentary by some of the
most distinguished digitizers in academia and beyond in North
America today. The report is organized as a series of
journalistic profiles of these major players, as they answer
questions relating to marketing, content selection, funding,
partnerships, labor training, rights and permissions and many
other issues.
