Rapid Imaging and Publication Capture:
Workflows, Choices and End Users
Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library
The Issues, Why Rapid Imaging:
• High demand for digital surrogates of materials for research purposes
• Discovery images needed for display in the Beinecke Digital Library
• Rare Books and Manuscripts are generally too fragile or valuable for traditional Mass Digitization
• Collections are stored in such a way as to facilitate Rapid Imaging
• Limited (expensive) digitization choices offered to patrons faculty and staff
• High amount of handling of popular items
• Several large collections in the cue for digitization

New Directions: Negative and Transparency Digitization
The Issues, Why High Resolution:
• High resolution captures needed for publication and reproduction uses
• Some of Beinecke Library material too rare or valuable to outsource or remove from the building
• Materials or objects are too fragile for repeated digitization
• Material too specialized to merit repeated digitization
