Scanning images and special formats: an overview

Please contact the DAM Committee if you have questions about getting started scanning.

Please review Minnesota Digital Libraries Standards page and Claremont's Scanning Best Practices document to familiarize yourself with scanning challenges and standards.

If you have a special format, like sheet music, try some of these links for an overview:

• Indiana has an excellent resource for digitizing sheet music: webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/inharmony/projectinfo/index.jsp
• Also recommended reading for sheet music is Jenn Riley and Ichiro Fujinaga's paper called Recommended Best Practices for Image Capture of Musical Scores.
