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.
