Extra!: What is the timeframe on the project?
Bacon: We sort of have a notion that we’re going to digitize something like 500 titles. We’re aiming ... for the end of 2007, but realistically it’s going to be mid-2008.
Extra!: What sort of challenges has Blackwell faced throughout this project?
Bacon: I think there’s always the issue of quality, obviously, when you’re scanning old material. You have to do quite a lot of work to make sure that the resulting scans adequately reflect the client’s expectations. They need to be legible, they need to be printable, but they need to be deliverable online as well, so there are sort of issues over size versus quality. I think we’ve come to a reasonable level of compromise on web-capable PDFs.
