Case Study: a major university preserves fragile thesis books with ADEC Preview Solutions

ADEC Thesis Book Scanning for an Educational Institution

The client, a major university, required the delicate digitization of fragile thesis books that could not be disbound. They engaged ADEC Preview Solutions to utilize its specialized document scanning services to meet this challenge without damaging the valuable materials.

ADEC Preview Solutions carefully collected and scanned the books using specialized flatbed scanners, handling each item with extreme care to prevent further damage. The solution included an OCR process to create searchable text and indexing by title and author. The project was completed ahead of schedule with zero damage reported, resulting in the successful digitization of 150 books. This outcome led the university to award ADEC two subsequent, similar projects.
