National Agricultural Text Digitizing Project

Abstract
The National Agricultural Library and forty-two land grant libraries have entered into a cooperative project to test a new method of capturing full-text and images in digital format for publication on CD-ROM disks. The digital information management equipment will be installed at the National Agricultural Library, where scanning of selected agricultural collections will take place. The microcomputer/CD-ROM workstations, search software, and collections on CD-ROM disks of the selected agricultural information will be field tested by actual faculty and researchers at NAL and the forty-two participating land grant libraries. During the first phase of the project, four CD-ROMs containing four different sets of material and using four different retrieval packages will be tested.
