B -- TECHNOLOGY STUDY SOL RFI95-2 POC Kaye Klinker, Contracting Officer, (202) 707-8608. The Geography and Map Division of the Library of Congress has accepted on loan for testing and evaluation, a large-format, flatbed, color-scanner from Tangent Engineering, Inc., of Englewood, Colorado. The Division will use this scanner to develop and test procedures for the scanning of maps to be included in the National Digital Library Initiative of the Library of Congress. The Geography and Map Division considers flatbed technology to be the most appropriate to use for the scanning of rare and valuable maps. Other companies which make similar large-format, flatbed, color-scanners that can accept a map or chart of approximately 24'' x 30'' in size that may wish to make its equipment available at no cost for similar testing are invited to contact Kaye Klinker, Contracting Officer, (202) 707-8608 to obtain information about the procedures under RFI95-2.
