Ranti is correct in what she says about publishers. As an ILL person it drives me nuts that there are so many loopholes just to be able to send stuff from our databases via ILL. Some of them say you can but you have to download it, print it, and then scan it again. It isn't the ILL practices that need improvement, its bringing publishers into the 21st century. And as far as making it searchable its just not an option for a lot of library ILL departments when they have to rescan the document. There are only two sending programs for ILL software (Ariel and Odyssey) outside of email and Ariel is a huge pain in the butt as to what type of scanners work with it. And while Odyssey can support more scanners a number of ILL departments just don't have the money to buy a scanner/software to make it OCR compatible documents.

There are also publishers who allow to send article as print-scan-send. That is, we have to print out the PDF, scan it (back to the PDF), and send it as a file. Do ask me why the publisher want that kind of silliness. That's what I'm told when I complaint about exactly the same thing. It is my understanding the scan-to-pdf is the problematic one; ILL unit will need to have OCR-capable scanner and that might add another burden to them if the OCR result is not good. YMMV. ranti.

Copyright rules would apply regardless of format and general counsel interpretations wouldn't really apply to this scenario.

Re: [CODE4LIB] crowdsourced book scanning
What type of pages from books are you talking about? Like reference materials, histories, biographies, fiction? Because while my first thought is that would be an interesting idea, my immediate second thought is that publishers and authors would never allow it to happen because of Copyright. Even in ILL land we can't keep scanned pages for a long period of time due to copyright restrictions. Also this sounds a lot like the Google Books project...

I know there are a number of cases where this may not apply, like loose-leaf publications in binders that get updated, etc. And I'm sure there are discussions around how to handle copyright, fair use, etc. Do we as a community already have a similar endeavor in place?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Software to track website changes?
Hey Elizabeth, I know my library's systems department uses The Trac project: http://trac.edgewall.org/, which lets them do exactly what you're asking about. I can't remember how easy/difficult the installation process is, but using it is easy for almost anyone. Our building maintenance person has even started using it as a way to track what she needs to do.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Have file will share
Unfortunately Ariel is pretty much dead. Infotrieve is the parent company and they only had one support person as of 4 years ago (no idea if they even have that any more) and they quit updating it as of 10 years ago. The last OS that it definitively worked with was Windows XP. Vista was a crapshoot and 7 could be jiggered if you ran it in XP mode, but I know a lot of folks had difficult with it.
