Digitization Method Selection Policy

Don’t Digitize Resources with Digital Equivalents

As noted in the digitization selection policy, don’t digitize materials that have pdf/digital equivalents.

Manual Scanning

Manual scanning shall be used for works that need to be returned to the source contributor.

Sheet-feed scanning

For copies provided to Noolaham that need not be returned, sheet-feed scanning is the preferred method to digitize the material. The only exceptions are rare works such as single known copies, which are not held anywhere else.

Camera-scanning

Camera scanning shall be used for over-sized material.
