[Promotion-technology] Rare Books to Be Digitized, and Sold on Amazon

[Everett Gavel]

Hello,

Regarding the blurb below, it's a nice step in the
right direction.  Now who's going to make sure all this
digital material is accessible to us?  Please pass this
message along, so that someone, God willing, takes up
the effort to keep them sensible and not let them
ignore us while digitizing these rare books.

To Your Success, and Better Access!

RARE BOOKS TO BE DIGITIZED AND SOLD ON AMAZON
-------------------------------------------------------
--------------
BookSurge, an Amazon group and leader in Print on
Demand
services, and Kirtas Technologies, a world leader in
high-quality
nondestructive book digitization, have announced a
collaboration
with universities and public libraries to preserve
thousands of
rare and inaccessible books from their collections and
distribute
them via BookSurge's Print-on-Demand service. Emory
University,
University of Maine, Toronto Public Library, and
Cincinnati
Public Library are the first organizations to enter
into
agreements with Kirtas to make their rare-book
collections
available to a readership that extends far beyond their
physical
geographies. This collaboration represents a
breakthrough
approach to digitization and preservation that will
ensure the
public will have access to these works indefinitely via
Print on
Demand. This initiative will also help these
institutions fund
their mission of preserving these vast literary
collections by
offering a revenue source from the sales of content
these
institutions own or that is in the public domain on
Amazon.com.
