<p>Interesting Feb 28 post on LYRASIS' site: Meeting the Needs of Cultural Heritage Communities for In-house Digitization Solutions<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Includes results of a survey. Quotes below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.25in">
<span style="color:#2F5597;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#2F5597;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">Here are some highlights of what we learned: 58 institutions from across the country participated in the survey and represented academic, public, archival,
and museum settings. Twenty-two questions were asked covering topics such as current program resources (budget, staffing, etc.), preferences for outsourcing and in-house scanning of materials, and considerations when purchasing equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<![if !supportLists]><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#2F5597;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#2F5597;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">·<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.25in">
<span style="color:#2F5597;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#2F5597;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%">Other findings from the survey were surprising. 83% of libraries surveyed have budgets of $20,000 or less to spend per year. This budget is well below the
cost to purchase most types of digitization equipment, apart from the flatbed scanners which are used by nearly all institutions surveyed. The interesting data point here is that, despite this low budget reported, 47% of the respondents indicated that they
owned at least one piece of digitization equipment that exceeded $20,000. This seems to reflect that equipment purchases may be funded using end of the year funds or with grant money.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
