Hi,

Does everyone realize that "outsourcing" text conversion projects can 
save your library a lot of money?  It is true.  You can just box it up 
and send it out-- and get electronic files on diskette back a few days 
later-- structured exactly like you need-- with embedded HTML codings, 
levels, etc.  And, you can avoid the onus of detailed management of a 
conversion project-- no scanners, no finicky OCR software, no operators 
going blind trying to find and fix OCR errors.  

When the text originals are too valuable to release, we can work from 
scanned images of each page-- we just transmit them to our off-shore 
operators.  

Our operators are usually graduate engineers.  We can handle tables, 
math or chemistry formulas with ease. 

So, our service is cheaper and easier-- why not get a quote before 
deciding how to process the next project?
