<br></div>Hello all,<br><br></div>I hope this day finds you well. We've had a number of libraries contact us looking for guidance on digitization--specifically digitization of yearbooks using an outside vendor. <font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="line-height:107%">Attached is a short guide intended to help you ask the
right questions about the digitization services you will receive.</span></span></font><br> <font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></span></font><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="line-height:107%">Many
libraries have had success using an outside vendor to digitize their yearbooks.
This can be an easy and cost-effective solution. However, it’s important to do
your homework beforehand.  While much of your decision will be governed by budget limitations,
asking these questions will save you headaches in the long-term. Following the
vendor questions, we have included a few points for you to consider as well.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="line-height:107%"><br></span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="line-height:107%">Other questions or concerns? Please ask; it is my pleasure to assist you.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="line-height:107%"><br></span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="line-height:107%">Best,<br></span></span></font></p>
