I saw this posting on the genealib digest forum and it may serve some purpose for those libraries looking for digitization services.

Ancestry.com sent this for the blog:



?



"Has your organization started (or are you in the planning stages of) a digitization project? Do you have great content you would love to preserve and make more accessible to your patrons or society members? Are you still trying to figure out the next steps ? indexing, hosting, and accessibility? Join our focus group to discuss a content publishing platform with Ancestry.com product managers, other librarians and society leaders. Lunch will be provided. All attendees will receive a copy of Family Tree Maker.

Space is limited, reserve your spot today: http://tinyurl.com/3ev2nsg "

Laurel Penny and Mark Weaver will be working the Ancestry booth at FGS as well and would be happy to answer any questions about this exciting project for those that will be FGS but cannot join us for lunch.

Hi all, 

We are in the early planning stage of digitizing back issues of our local paper and are researching companies that offer this service to libraries. Referrals anyone? Please feel free to respond off-list. 

Thank you, 

Julia
