[Please note Follow-ups: line; there's no obvious need to

We are interested in doing a spot survey of library implementations
of document scanning. What are folks doing, and how is it going?

I'll compile the results and repost to soc.libraries.talk. The data
will be available to anyone who asks.

Thanks,

Dave Davis, Library Manager
