Becoming Po. D People Jamie D. Bradway Preservation Librarian NCSU Libraries February 11, 2011
A Few Notes (Admissions) We don't have a Print on Demand Program No charged committee or task force No mandate to prioritize Po. D services over other services Our digital collection (that would be considered for Po. D) is small Most monographic material would be pulled from items digitized by the OCA.
Digital Content Open Content Alliance (Internet Archive) 3, 195 items scanned between February 2008 and February 2010 Wide variety of file formats Technical Reports, University Publications
Some Goals Ultimately, a 'Buy a Print Copy' option for all eligible digital content Within reach, offer a Po. D 'store-front' of titles selected from our OCA collection (along with additional titles digitized for this purpose. )
Chronology Public Domain Reprints – Feb. 2008 First try, out of curiosity Prepared by publicdomainreprints. org Printed and shipped by Lulu Title: Origin of Cultivated Plants, 1881 Result follows. . .
Origin of Cultivated Plants
Lulu, July 2008
Traditional Binderies The HF Group Bridgeport National Will process files for print Will print intermittent color pages as necessary Will charge a lot more Will have a longer turnaround
Poor choice of title
Better Choice of Title Sex-linked Inheritance in Drosophilia
Lulu - right down the street Moved into the neighborhood in 2009 Very interested in having a library partner Think of Lulu as a vendor, not a service
Fed. Ex/Kinkos (really!) • Digital textbooks • Single or small runs to add to collection • Collate color pages
NCSU gets Caffeinated Espresso Book Machine installed at Bookstore March 2010 Merger of Copy services with Bookstore Limitations Irregular PDF's Color Trim size less than 8. 5” x 11”
Prepping Files The crux of the problem Cannot be fully automated with good results and free software Have developed workarounds that minimizes staff supervision Irfanview Scan Tailor Various home brewed scripts Processing will take ~4 hours per for average book
Getting to the Next Stage • Working proof of concept • Storefront of a few dozen titles • Continue to seek highly automated process • Kirtas’s Bookscan Editor? • Develop use cases and investigate Digitize on Demand
