"We wanted to expand access to collections that were only
available during limited times and in one place," said the Library's Technical Services Director Jason Buydos. "The Kirtas solution enabled us to digitize the material and make it available online expanding access."
The main appeal of the Kirtas solution is its ability to handle books more gently than the human hand. The APT system is unique in that the binding does not have to be removed or forced open 180 degrees under glass for digitizing. Instead, special page turning technology gently advances each page with the SureTurn(TM) robotic arm and safely holds the book in a continuous, height adjusting 110 degree SmartCradle(TM).
