- Description
- Digitization of Rare Books and Other Materials for the Library of Congress The Library of Congress FEDLINK seeks digitization services on behalf of the Library of Congress Library Services. The Library has selected bound volumes and other materials from the Rare Books & Special Collections Division for digitization. Some books may have foldouts that require scanning. The Contractor shall perform the digital imaging of the book pages to TIFF image files with staff experienced in handling and scanning library collection materials. Derivative images (JPEG2000 and GIF) and metadata will also be required. One PDF "Image Only" file that contains all images in the book will be delivered with each book. Images and associated metadata shall be delivered according to the BagIt specification. Imaging requirements are driven by the most current version of the information capture specifications (sampling rate, tone/amplitude resolution, encoding, etc.), quality guidelines, and content categories and digitization objectives recommended by the Still Image Group of the Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative ("FADGI"). A minimum performance level of 3 stars is required. Sample target files will be required prior to contract award. Once the project begins, the contractor will be required to submit targets on a daily basis. Digital imaging will take place at Library of Congress facilities. The Library will provide adequate space and infrastructure for the required equipment and operator.
