You are looking for a workflow management system to steer you digitiszation processes and your document delivery for inhouse patrons and around the world? We have 20years+ experience in mass digitizsation (eg for GoogleBooks projects) and various document delivery and ILL scenarios. The biggest libraries in Germany and Switzerland (including storage library) rely on our services. You have questions? Meet us in Barcelona or send your question to info@imageware.de
Since 2004 Bavarian State Library is contributing with its rarities to the ever growing book treasure of Google Books Project. From the beginning on the inhouse workflows in Bavarian State Library has been managed and tracked with a so called MyBib workflow data base.
Working with that database you can forget Excel-Lists; every minute you can say what is the processing status of each book or item. Either it is ready for delivery to Google Books Scan Center, or it is delivered back, if the digitized data is available or must the book be taken to a bookbinder before leaving the house.

Our scan and post-processing client BCS-2 is constantly being developed further. With the new release, we have optimized the following function blocks in addition to a number of smaller improvements:
For faster Quality Control in the digitization center – integration of a preview for selected scanners to check the scan quality during data transfer
For improved OCR – integration of Tesseract version 5.3
Additional scanners were connected in 64-bit mode: RICOH- /FI-, Avision and InoTec-Scamax scanners were connected via 64-bit. This provides a range of small to high-performance scanners and overhead scanners.
Higher throughput for JPEG2000 creation – integration of multithreading to fully utilize the performance of PCs with 4,6,8 cores.
The complete scope of services can be found in the release notes, see https://manuals.imageware.de/en/bcs-2/bcs-2-office-and-professional/release-notes/bcs-2-version-6-6/.
Customers with a BCS-2 Office/Professional V6.4 and maintenance contract will receive the upgrade to V6.6 free of charge. For delivery please send an informal mail with your BCS-2 license number to info@imageware.de.
