An armature swoops down to pick up a page using vacuum suction and transfers it to the other side, where the cycle repeats. Puffs of air are used to separate the pages on the right. The cradle holding the book minimizes stress on the spine and automatically adjusts to keep the book at the correct focal distance from the cameras.

A kirtas apt 1200 book scanner digitizing a book

A Kirtas APT 1200 Book Scanner digitizing a book
The Kirtas APT 1200 in action. This one uses a single 16 megapixel camera and a mirror that flips back and forth to image both sides of the book. The film shows it digitizing a reproduction of an out of print book from the 1870s. The reproduction was created from digitial images generated by the machine. With the high rate of scanning speed, fragile, out of print books can be safely digitized and then reprinted in an "on demand" basis, removing the need for a substantial sized service bureau to complete the work. The quality of the images coming from the camera is superior, guaranteeing that any extremely fragile book need only to be scanned once.

Digitize, democratize: google, libraries, and the future of books

Digitize, Democratize: Google, Libraries, and the Future of Books
The legal battles surrounding Google Book Search raise basic questions about the digital future facing all of us—not just authors and publishers but ordinary readers and everyone concerned with access to information. Research libraries should have a say in shaping that future. Digitization gives them an opportunity to democratize knowledge by opening their collections to the outside world. But how can they share their intellectual wealth when commercial firms want to market it? What will be the place of printed books in a world where most works will be "born digital" and read in new ways by "digital natives"? Libraries are developing strategies to cope with these issues, which are vital to our country's future and deserve widespread discussion before the general public.

Digitizing a book with a camera

Digitizing a book with a camera
Magyar leírás: wilika.freeblog.hu This is how I've "scanned" a book (Mechanics for engineers) to share it with my classmates. (I'm speaking Hungarian, so here's how it went) I needed: A tripod (a cheap Hama in my case), a camera (Fuji Finepix 6500fd), an old fishtank (my turtles, then, my african snails used to live in it), some fasteners (or what), ACD see, Photoshop, Acrobat I've pressed the pages against the inner surfaces of an old fishtank (notice how I've fixed it, preventing it from slipping down), so they went flat. The camera's focus was set on manual, so I've only had to set it once correctly, making the procedure fast. After taking all sides in I've made an action in photoshop, to enhance the image quality (levels, britghness, contrast, etc. making the old yellowish paper white, and the letters nice and sharp). Since I only had one lamp, I had to apply the adjustments, with a gradient mask, 'cause the top side of the pictures were closer to the light, they were brighter. After the action was finished, I made Photoshop batch all the pictures (est. 200) with it. After it, I've selected every second page, to rotate them. Then I've combined them in Acrobat, with a few clicks. :)
