Overview

The key objective of this procurement is to purchase a book scanner to maintain critical customer workflows in support of interloan, library scans, eReserve, thesis digitization and public scan requests.
The current machine has come to the end of its use cycle and is in danger of breaking with no means to get it serviced or repaired.

In summary we need to procure an overhead book scanner that:
o has an A1 sized scan area to cater to the vast array of sizes the Hocken Collections items cover
o allows the safe scanning/digitization of fragile heritage items – minimizing stress and damage to the items with the canter levered base plate and glass hood
o is a standalone unit so it does not need to be attached to the University network, meaning less of a security risk
o supported by the supplier via a support agreement, meaning ITS does not need to support this machine
o is compatible with the University document management system
o produces 300-600ppi, PDF, JPEG and TIF files so it can meet the requirements of eReserve, Interloan and Library scan work standards
o includes new technology, hardware and software wise, to support a reduction in the time taken scanning, editing final files and reduce stress and strain on fragile heritage items.
