On a related note: most (all?) IA-scanned books have e.g. *_jp2.zip files containing all the original scan images, but is there any standard for user-uploaded books? Like your librarians above, I assume they're uploading individual jpg/png files? Do these get combined into a single zip? I'm thinking that they don't, and that ia-upload needs to provide the option of using any of the following sources: * .djvu * _jp2.zip (there's also _jpg.zip and _raw_jp2.zip, but I guess we don't need to use them?) * *.jpg + *.jp2 + *.png (i.e. use all images in the item, apart from _cover_image.jpg) * .pdf Sound complete? Or are there other ways?
