[Metadatalibrarians] Recommend book scanners?

[Waibel,Guenter]

Probably not ready for prime-time yet, but this might still be worth looking at:

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Decapod+Project+executive+summary

>From the pdf:
"Decapod will be an inexpensive attaché case sized hardware/software solution that can be readily procured and assembled and taken into the stacks by local staff or volunteers to quickly and unobtrusively capture the material and deliver it in usable format. It will be open-source, easy to use, and will provide an out-of-the box method of digitizing small to medium archives of scholarly material."

Hi all,

 

We are looking into buying a book scanner which we'll probably use for
archival papers as well--probably something in the $1,000.00 range.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
