COM Report available

[Barbara Berger <beb1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Cornell University Department of Preservation and Conservation announces
the availability of a print version of its final report to the National
Endowment for the Humanities on a two and a half year demonstration project
to test and evaluate the use of high resolution bitonal imaging to produce
computer output microfilm (COM) that meets national preservation standards
for quality and permanence. The project led to an assessment of quality,
process, and costs, and to the development of recommendations for the
creation and inspection of preservation microfilm produced from digital
imagery.  A Web-based version of the report is available via the
Department's Web site (http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation). A
paper copy of the report is available for $10.00; prepayment is required.
To obtain the hard copy version, please send a check made payable to
