Hi -
Mary Larsgaard suggested that I let MAPS-L know about the DjVU testing I did
with her scanned index maps of Hokkaido. DjVu is a new software technology
from LizardTech specifically designed for scanned documents. From the large
JPEG files provided by Mary, I created a single DjVu document file that has
the front and back pages of the Hokkaido index map, plus hyperlinks. The
file is only 416 KB and the image quality is fantastic.
To create the DjVu file I used the DjVu Solo encoder product, which is free
for non-commercial purposes from LizardTech. It can be downloaded from:
http://www.lizardtech.com/cgi-bin/products/desc.pl?tsb=25733
If anyone is interested in seeing the Hokkaido index map in DjVu format,
please let me know via email ([log in to unmask]) and I would be happy to
send it as an email attachment.
Regards.

Over the years, one type of query that keeps popping
up is requests for copies of the old AMS map-series index.
A few months back Paige Andrew (Penn) and I were talking
about this and I offered to have us here scan
a sample. Just to try it out, the scanning staff here scanned
one such index (both sides), at 200dpi.

a. Would it be useful to you/your library's users to
have all the old AMS indexes scanned and available
over the Web?
Please tell me specifically how your users or you as
a map librarian would use these.
(I have a couple of obvious ideas on this - e.g.,
fill in missing indexes; users can check over
web to see what sheet numbers are, etc..... -
but am sure you will come up with others).
b. Are the files too large? should they be
scanned at, say, 150 or 100dpi, or sampled down?
