Download or read book Double Fold written by Nicholson Baker and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002-08-13 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ostensible purpose of a library is to preserve the printed word. But for fifty years our country’s libraries–including the Library of Congress–have been doing just the opposite, destroying hundreds of thousands of historic newspapers and replacing them with microfilm copies that are difficult to read, lack all the color and quality of the original paper and illustrations, and deteriorate with age. With meticulous detective work and Baker’s well-known explanatory power, Double Fold reveals a secret history of microfilm lobbyists, former CIA agents, and warehouses where priceless archives are destroyed with a machine called a guillotine. Baker argues passionately for preservation, even cashing in his own retirement account to save one important archive–all twenty tons of it. Written the brilliant narrative style that Nicholson Baker fans have come to expect, Double Fold is a persuasive and often devastating book that may turn out to be The Jungle of the American library system.

Download or read book Digitizing Microfilm and Microfiche written by Ronald J Leach and published by Aftermath. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in this digital age, many libraries and small archives often use microfilm and microfiche to display important information. There are many types of devices for reading these media, and many ways to use and, unfortunately, misuse these technologies. Librarians and archivists are well-aware of the problems and, if they haven't done so already, are almost certainly considering digitization with its obvious advantages. Yet, there are many pitfalls. Digitizing Microfilm and Microfiche is intended for anyone who has to deal with the economics and technologies of a digitization project. The author, Ronald J. Leach, recently retired from a long-time career as a Computer Science professor, and has had considerable experience with multiple digitization projects for numerous organizations with a variety of systems. He had also worked on microfilm quality assessment for a government agency. Paperback and hardback copies of this short book may be kept as a reference for those libraries and archives that use microfilm and microfiche. These libraries and archives could also use digital editions of the same book on their local internal websites. The companion volume, User Guide to Microfilm and Microfiche, is intended for anyone who is just that, a user of these technologies.
