Digital Preservation Projects at INIS • INIS Microfiche Collection • Other Digitization Projects • What comes next? 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting
Microfiche Digitization Project Objectives • Digitize the INIS microfiche collection • Improve on-line access to full-texts • Ensure long-term preservation of the digital collection 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting
Key Issues • Prevent duplication of digitization efforts • Ensure efficient monitoring and coordination of the project • Ensure good communication with the contractors • Ensure efficient matching of full-texts with INIS records 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting
Microfiche Scanning • Status at the last (12th) INIS/ETDE JTC meeting: • 8,7 million digitized pages • Status on 20 October 2011: • 12,5 million digitized pages • Increase of 3,8 million pages 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting
Our Goal • Provide the full-text for each NCL “available from INIS” • > 500 000 INIS NCL records • Volume 1 to 27 (1970 to 1996) • In > 304 000 cases: • 1 INIS record = 1 report on MF • Full-text available right after MF digitization • In ~ 186 000 cases, post-processing is necessary (document splitting) 13th INIS/ETDE Joint Technical Committee Meeting
