1. Microfiche Digitization Project
Objectives
• Digitize the INIS microfiche collection
• Improve on-line access to full-texts
• Ensure long-term preservation of the digital collection
Key Issues
• Prevent duplication of digitization efforts
• Ensure efficient monitoring and coordination of the project
• Ensure good communication with the contractors
• Ensure efficient matching of full-texts with INIS records
Constraints
• Limited resources
• Limitations of existing tools and databases
• Microfiche retrieval and digitization based on Report Number
Microfiche Scanning
• Two contractors• Basic Supply Agreement (BSA012.2008)
– Scanning of 3,500,000 pages between 2008 and 2010
• 2011-2013: 3,500,000 pages• Since 2004 over 10,5 million microfiche
frames have been digitized• Image enhancement, QC, OCR,
conversion to PDF done by DPIG
INIS NCL Collection on Microfiche

Microfiche Digitization – 2011-2013
• Scanning of additional 3,500,000 pages(from ~ 75,000 NCL reports on microfiche)
• Gradually get all NCL reports digitized by other institutions (at the moment ~ 24,000)
• QC, QE, OCR and PDF output
• By Q4/2013: All Microfiches scanned
Microfiche Digitization – 2011-2013
• Also planned (depending on available resources)
• Creation of separate PDF files for analytics of PUBLICLY available full-texts
• Add value to existing full-texts (e.g. OCR of full-texts in languages that were not supported until now)
Our Tools
• NCL Collection Management System (Developed by SDSG)
• Scanning and Image Enhancement– PixEdit 7– Kodak Capture Pro
• OCR– ABBYY FineReader 10 Corporate Edition
2. Other Digitization Projects
• To support IAEA digitization initiatives– IAEA Bulletin– IAEA General Conference– INDC– IUREP– Directory of Nuclear Reactors
• To support Member States digitization initiatives
3. Guidelines
• Digital preservation at INIS(INIS Information Letter No.253 from 2008-10-03)
