Book (producing a scanned image from microfilm); John Dean from Cornell
University will discuss scanning books and producing film from the
scanned image; Sue Kellerman from Penn State will present PSU's
experiences with their scanning project and the problems and issues
surrounding access to those images; and Meg Bellinger, the new president
of Preservation Resources (formerly MAPS) will present the perspective
of a vendor working on her organization's first scanning pilot project
(scanning images from newspapers already on microfilm).  There will be
time for questions and discussion with the presenters.

The RLMS Discussion Group will be held on Sunday, February 6th, 1994,
