The NDLP scanning service RFPs/contracts continue to be available as well as papers covering aspects of text mark-up, repository development, Web interface design, workflow and production (NDLP Writer’s Handbook, quality review guidelines, project planning, the role of conservation) and also rights and restrictions statements. Numerous background papers are available including a new paper by Caroline R.
