Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book explores the integration of hand scanning devices within the National Agricultural Library's indexing system, a critical change that occurred between 1989 and 1991 under the leadership of Caren Reed. It discusses the use of these scanners to perform full-page scans and select specific elements to be used within the library's indexing records, vastly expediting the indexing process in comparison to manual entry. Through discussion of the training mode and the system's ability to expand character recognition to new shapes, ligatures, and type styles through user input, this book positions the integration of hand scanning devices into the National Agricultural Library's indexing system within the broader context of technological advancements that enhance library efficiency and access to information. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
