bookeye

Ok, animation isn't the primary function of the Library's new face-up book scanner/copier. But it gives an idea of how it works and image quality. If you think about it, turning books upside-down to copy pages is counterintuitive. And really bad for preserving books. The "Bookeye" is designed to make good-quality images while minimizing stress on bound materials. It's got a bit of a learning curve but even tech-shy researchers are using it.
