Digitisation Centre
The Digitisation Centre in the Library is engaged in digitising and making available items from the Library’s Special Collections and Archives. The Centre is also engaged in digitising book chapters and journal articles as part of the library’s Reading List Support Service.
The Digitisation Centre houses three high spec scanners:
- a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 slide and film scanner;
- a Bookeye 3 A1 scanner for scanning large format items and loose archival material; and
- a Kirtas 1200 book scanner. The Kirtas 1200 scanner is one of the models used by Google Books and is the only scanner of its type in Ireland.
