Services and Resources
In working with the Library Preservation department, DRP can provide production, consultation and training, or outsourcing referrals for reformatting of materials, including scanning of images and text, and digitization of audio and video. Services include document structuring of image files and optical character recognition (OCR) scanning of text files. Digital capture, editing and quality control are performed to create high quality master files in accordance with national standards and best practices, as well as derived access copies. File names are created according to established name schemes incorporating project and item sequence information. Master files are stored on servers with tape back-up and are accessible only to authorized personnel.
