     Hello all:
          
          I am interested in hearing from institutions that have data on 
          production rates for scanning library and archive materials. 
          This would include preparation and set up times, scanning times, 
          post-production and quality control for the following types of 
          materials on an hourly basis:
          
          bound books (opening at least 90 degrees)
          oversized bound books and folios
          uniform single sheet items (manuscripts, photographs, prints)
          oversized single sheet items (maps, prints) 
          multi-format items  (scrapbooks)
          fragile, rare items (illuminated manuscripts, glass negatives)
          intermediates (negatives and transparencies)
          
          Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
          I will sum up for the list if I get a significant number of       
          responses.
          
          Thanks in advance.
