Paul,

Nice talking with you yesterday. As requested, I have attached pricing for Level 1, and JPEG2000 and OCR as options.

A few outstanding questions I need to address for you:

1. If the choice is made for JPEG2000, does this change the digitization services project scope?
Yes, the determination needs to be made in advance, if possible. The process of digitizing will change based on the resolution needed.

2. How does our OCR differ from that included with a scanner?
Ours will allow for a more efficient workflow process (indexing and marked up XML), as each object only needs to be "touched" one time, vs. multiple times if using a 3rd party, which then allows for cost reduction. Also, from the end user view, our OCR system will actually highlight the search term entered in the color yellow to make for easier identification. Please see attached document for further explanation.

If you need to contact other vendors, while there are several, some names that come to mind are Luna and ExLibris?.

As always, please contact either myself or Ron Gardner with any questions.
Thanks!
