Access to information, especially electronic information, has become a major focus for institutions. With digitisation being an important aspect of this approach, Sabinet is now focusing on offering a broader spectrum of digitisation services.
The scanning of books and other material has become a major issue for archives, museums and libraries worldwide. In addition to protecting the physical materials from damage by handling, historical documents can be made available to a much larger user base through online publishing.
book2net is an international alliance of solution providers and users, whose intention is to develop practice-orientated book scanning solutions for use in archives, libraries, museums and more, by covering hardware, software and services.
The book2net alliance focuses on the requirements and needs of the end-user of the book scanner. These needs are reviewed and incorporated into the development and ultimate design of the book2net range of products.
Cost efficient manufacturing and distribution means best prices without compromising on quality.
The book2net scanner range consists of reading room or self-service scanners as well as production scanners.
Self-service scanners are used by the public or end-users to easily convert research or reading material into an electronic format. The book2net Spirit is the first entry-level, high-resolution book scanner, which will be affordable even for smaller organisations. Scanned pages can be saved to an external storage device (eg memory stick) with the press of a button. Copier machines are therefore no longer needed – saving on paper and toner and being environmentally friendly!
The book2net production scanners focus on larger digitisation projects. With different models and specifications, there is a scanner for every digitisation need. The combination of the fast and high-quality scanners with the unique software packages offers you the perfect book-scanning solution.
