We travel out to other libraries in Zip Cars and bring materials back to the BPL digitization facilities at our headquarters in Copley Square. If the materials are particularly onerous or fragile, we’ll send out a professional library shipping company to transfer the collections back and forth. No mobile scanning labs yet… but keep an eye out for the Scannebago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scannebago)!

Do you have a rolling digitizing mobile or do you bring the material from other libraries back to a home location for digitization?
