                                        By Edgardo Quiros
                                          Chief, IT Division
                                  National Library of the Philippines
Background

Digitization of Filipiniana books under
 copyright registration
Digitization of Copyright registration
 documents
Philippine eLibrary
Now a program covering Filipiniana
 materials
The Digitization Experience
Phase 1: Outsourced
 25 million pages target was achieved in less
  than 1 year in 2004
 By 2007, re-work is still ongoing to correct
  unreadable pages. It was stopped because it
  will take longer to perform quality control
  compared to re-scanning by our staff.
 Some originals sustained damages
 Output file size is large
Phase 2: In-house
1 million pages target was achieved in 1
 year in 2007 (Equivalent to 3-year
 productivity of another outsourced
 project of similar staffing)
Non-destructive techniques were used to
 prevent damages
Output file size is smaller
Quality is better than phase 1
Our Gains from In-house
        Digitization
Digitized document as output (in
 outsourcing this is the only
 output)
Ability to digitized materials with
 limited budget including
 materials with few pages.
 Outsourcing requires a minimum
 volume of materials.
Better quality of digitized
Our Gains from In-house
         Digitization
 Minimal damage/loss, if none at all, to
  delicate materials
 Procured equipment, computer
  hardware and software can be used
  to digitize more materials (new
  materials are added each year)
 Procured equipment, computer
  hardware and software is useful in
  post-digitization services such as
  information repackaging and delivery
Comparison
Phase 1 PDF file size Phase 1 PDF file size
  of a page             of a page
218 KB               41 KB
*see sample page      *see sample page
Phase 1 sample page
Phase 2 sample page
Our Gains from In-house
         Digitization
 Staff gained skills, experience and
  knowledge
 Achieved faster delivery of digitized
  materials due to very minimal time
  spent in training, selection,
  organization, and quality control
 Reports, guides, and papers from the
  digitization activity now serves as
  reference materials
 Developed appropriate workflows for
  each material
