Come along to a demonstration of the James Hardiman Library's scanning equipment which will take place in the Library Digitization Centre on the top floor of the Library at 12:00 on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th February.
The Library Digitization Service is available to staff and postgraduate students wishing to digitize material to support research, teaching or publication.

1) A Kirtas 1200 book scanner which can scan a bound volume at a rate of over 600 pages per hour, using a an automatic page turning mechanism.
2) A Bookeye 3 A1 scanner which can scan large format material such as newspapers and maps. This scanner is also suitable for scanning loose material, for example archival collections.
3) A Nikon Coolscan 500 slide and film scanner which can be used to scan 35mm negatives and slides.
All three scanners can output high quality images in a range of formats including jpeg, tiff and PDF. The library digitization centre can also provide post processing services for scanned material including high quality OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
