Hello Imagelib subscribers


I am responsible for setting up the Image Services section of the
National Library of New Zealand - with objectives for widening public
access to heritage collection items and enhancing conservation of
original items within the collections.


Currently we are offering a new digital copying service which includes digital
photographs, laser copies, overhead transparencies and digital images
on disk and syquest cartridge.


The next phase which we are now working on is the digital storage and
management of heritage images for online access.


I have two questions - can anyone please offer any advice or
suggestions re
1.  Charging/pricing policies for digital images in terms of online
     services
2. Which standard format  organisations are using for long term
storage of mass heritage images - Kodak PCD, JPEG, or other.


Thank you for your help.
Margaret
