What is best for the Library is a high resolution flatbed
scanner. preferable 2400 DPI or better. one that does
8½' X 14" would be the best size. What we do most is copy from
printed editions of books and newsletters and only occasionally a few
sheets. Most of the requests are for material from these books and
magazines that are archived in the library.
To the question of slides ...there are some at the
library , Rita Gormley has some as well as others that are supposed to
be scanned and put on disks and we have set up a way of naming each slide to
be consistant. The librarian does not have the time
to scan all slides nor do I want her to try...this should be done as
a large committee with lots of volunteers making at least two disks of the
slides that they each convert with one copy being sent to the library to
archive for future use and for requests. We can make a list and keep
them in alphabetical order.
I have looked around and as near as I can see a gook scanner
for library use should cost between $300-$400 dollars and no
more.

All,
I will withdraw my motion and defer to someone else
to make a more appropriate motion, if desired, based on the previous
discussion. As a passing question, How many slides are in the AIS
Library? I don't recall that we ever received any answers to the Nov-Dec
discussion/questions as to an inventory of the library.
