Digitize

Planning Ahead

Whether you’re ready to embark on a digitization project today or a year from now, it’s never too soon to do a little planning ahead. We’ve been helping institutions big and small for over a decade both plan and execute their projects. Our innovative techniques keep digitization project costs low and turnaround fast. We’d like to help you too. We start each project by asking you the simple questions, we then figure out the hard ones.

Tell us:

Who is your audience?
How will the images be used?
What's in the collection? We can provide you with project planning templates.
Who will manage the project on your end, particularly QC checking of delivered images? Our workflow tracking makes QC a snap.

We’ll figure out:

what space, equipment, and software will be required;
technical specifications for images and metadata;
project costs.

Let us show you how a once daunting digitization project can quickly turn into a successfully completed one. Give us a call, we’re happy to provide you with samples, detailed quotes, ball park quotes or even just a little positive encouragement.

Rapid Capture

Sometimes deciding between preservation scanning services and rapid capture is easy. And sometimes...well, it's not. Where special collections are concerned a recent OCLC research publication, Rapid Capture: Faster Throughput in Digitization of Special Collections by Ricky Erway illustrates how selecting rapid capture over preservation services has multiple benefits in some cases. Price of course is a leading benefit, but you don’t have to sacrifice on quality. We are constantly expanding our rapid capture capacities, and for a fraction of the cost of preservation services they can really deliver.

Still can't decide? We can help.

Deliver

A Total Solution

Once you have your assets digitized, show them off to the world with the Insight + LUNA software. Or keep them internal. Your choice. Design your own metadata schema, use the ones we provide, or don't use one at all. Your choice. Full text search lets users find what otherwise could remain hidden. With automatic derivative and JPEG2000 creation, you save time while your audience delights in fast zoom and image delivery. Everyone wins. Read more about our products and services, or visit our website, www.lunaimaging.com. And as always, contact us. We've got a solution that's right for you.

Low, Low Hosting Rates

Reliable. Affordable. Simple. Our web-scale hosting services make a lot of sense in today's overworked and underfunded environment. Let us take care of complex software installations, backups, and upgrades while you focus on building collections. Starting at just $3,000/year, our Insight + LUNA software, training, hosting and support package can bring a little joy back to the workplace.
