Book Review: Digitizing Audiovisual and Nonprint Materials: The Innovative Librarian’s Guide

Abstract

Anyone who works in a library knows that audiovisual materials can disintegrate and their playback equipment can quickly become obsolete. Does anyone remember the Betamax, or how about the laser disc? Digitization can be the solution to this problem. There are a handful of companies that will take care of this process for you, but if you are a do-it-yourselfer, then Piepenburg’s new book, Digitizing Audiovisual and Nonprint Materials, is for you.
