Digitization Info Recap
by Laura Orlowski 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hi all; Sorry for the delay in getting a recap of my original inquiry about digitization projects. Let me first say "Thank You!" to all who responded - your info was very helpful. Results: Several libraries use Sanilac Computing Products (Digital Totes). They offer digitizing and hosting of a searchable database. I had a web demo with Michael Soflin this morning and was very impressed with this service. Cost: $850 per year (flat rate) for hosting the searchable database. Digitizing costs vary depending on items but seem reasonable. Digital Totes can be found on Facebook or you can contact Michael at 810-648-3200, msoflin(a)scpweb.com, or www.scpweb.com Others used Graphic Sciences of Madison Heights. They also offer digitizing and hosting of a searchable database. I have not made contact with them yet, so I can't give any details. The libraries who use them said they are fair-priced - one library said the process too longer than planned but they are satisfied with the results. The other libraries who responded mentioned Clarke Historical Library (CMU). I knew they have worked extensively on newspapers and microfilm, but did not know that they are now working with digitizing and online databases. I planned to contact them about purchasing copies of our local newspapers, but will also be looking at other options they offer. One library talked about a software option called "Past Perfect" - for 1 price you could possibly scan and run your own database. I did look this up to see if this was an option I would consider. For my library, I don't think so. First, the software is designed mainly for museums - it could very well work fine for libraries, but I prefer to go with an option that is designed specifically for libraries. Second, I am not a computer tech - I would prefer to have someone who knows what they are doing host my library's database. But of course, that is my opinion - this option may work for you. Thank again for all who responded to my request. I hope this info helps others who are considering digitizing options, too. -Laura Orlowski, director

Larry Martin's WWII In Their Own Words at Northville
by Wendy Mutch 26 May '16

26 May '16

Colleagues, Tuesday night the Northville District Library hosted Larry Martin's WWII in Their Own Words as he shared Francis Angier's dramatic story with our audience of 144. (Francis Angier was a B-17 bomber pilot and POW with the Mighty Eight Air Force in England.) Larry brought many artifacts with him, showed his hour-long interview with Francis, and answered many questions. We also had three local WWII veterans in the audience who spoke a little about their opinions and experiences. Based on the enthusiastic response to this important and moving program, I'll be inviting Larry back for another program in the future. I would highly recommend that you contact him to present at your library, if you have not already. You can learn more about his work and contact him on his website at http://lmww2.com/ Thank you, Wendy Mutch Northville District Library
