     Hello all:

     I am interested in hearing from institutions that have data on
     production rates for scanning library and archive materials.
     This would include preparation and set up times, scanning times,
     post-production and quality control for the following types of
     materials on an hourly basis:

     bound books (opening at least 90 degrees)
     oversized bound books and folios
     uniform single sheet items (manuscripts, photographs, prints)
     oversized single sheet items (maps, prints)
     multi-format items  (scrapbooks)
     fragile, rare items (illuminated manuscripts, glass negatives)
     intermediates (negatives and transparencies)

     Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
     I will sum up for the list if I get a significant number of responses.

     Thanks in advance.
