This guided tour of the digitization process takes the reader from selecting what to digitize, through to actual digitization. It incorporates project funding and management and addresses the specifics of digitization technology and some of the decisions facing libraries.
I was assigned to provide an evaluation of digitizing a collection. Just by chance I picked up this book in our library. I thought it was about imagery, but it is realy about what most people call digitization. This book has an very high information to fluff ratio. It is filled with pracital advice ranging from technical advice (image formats, digitization engines) to project organization tips. Although aimed at the library/archival community is is invaluable to anyone who has to digitize a large body of documents.
