How large-scale library book digitization works

Libraries, tech companies, archives and other organizations associated with the Open Content Alliance are organizing to scan library books and make them available according to open-access principles. Robin Chandler (California Digital Library), Merrilee Proffitt (Research Libraries Group) and I recently presented an update on OCA and its doings at the Digital Library Federation Spring Forum in Austin. Merrilee describes our panel and links to our presentations. --RP
