Our library is engaged in quit an ambitious project. We are scanning the
table of contents of ALL our reference books, OCR them and put it in a
database. The objective of this project is for our patrons to be able to
find books not only by their title or classification but also by words
that appear in their content.

We are a small town library with about 8,000 reference books.

I would like to know if there are other projects like this and would
like to share thoughts and experience.

Thanks
