I wonder how many libraries are using some of the Web based technologies to provide access to their manuscripts and other rare items? For example, I believe it is Laserfiche that allow you to OCR a document so that when posted on the Net it is entirely keyword searchable using the original looking document. I know the Schenectady Public Library has done a great job on providing some of the early maps and manuscripts they have on the Net. I know that many use plain OCR packages like Omnipage, TextBridge and others which do provide the text information, but these other technologies give you the "look and feel" as well. And not to be beat a dead horse, but if institutions do use these technologies, does it encourage them to destroy the original since they now have a digital version that is "almost" as good? Finally, has anyone compiled a list of the web sites that do have these items? Seems like it would be a good resource for those geographically restricted. dr
