Text Digitization
|
Three types of text scanning services are available through Northwestern University Library: self-service text scanning in the Digital Collections-2E Lab, scanning for course reserves, and digital collections scanning using a Kirtas book scanner. Self-Service Text ScanningThe Digital Collections-2E Lab has a Fujitsu fi-5220C scanner (flatbed and document feeder) and OmniPage scanning software. Omnipage includes optical character recognition (OCR), which allows you to edit your scanned document. For more information about using this scanner, please review our self-service text scanning guide, or call 847.467.1080.Scanning for Course ReservesThe Reserve Services department's electronic reserve service will digitize articles, book chapters and other text materials for university courses. Kirtas Book ScanningThe Kirtas scanner is used to scan books in the NUL collection. A significant portion of the books scanned with the Kirtas are prospective scanning projects and brittle books identified at the point of circulation. Digital Collections also oversees the scanning of books requested by NU faculty and staff that are meant to become part of the NUL digital repository. If you have a digitization project you would like to propose, please contact Claire Stewart.
