> ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
> We are planning a project to digitize our slide collection.  Although
> creating CD-ROMs was initially proposed by our dean, I think it would be
> better to create a database directly on a server.  This database could
> then
> be accessed in the classrooms through our OPAC's web site.  We have about
> 100,000 slides and I suspect that while the project is underway, we will
> continue to make slides as well as new digital images of the same
> reproduction until the digitization of the old slides is complete and all
> of
> our faculty are comfortable using this technology.
>
> My questions are these:  Do any of you have any server and software
> recommendations for an image database?  How large a server is needed to
> store projectionable images for a collection of this size (i.e., how much
> space per image is needed?  Would it be better to use a digital camera
> rather than a slide scanner, and if so, what kind and what other
> peripheral
> equipment is needed?

> I'm sure that others have undertaken a project like this, and I would be
