McGill U Library scanning books with Kirtas

Via Campus Technology:

McGill University Library in Montreal will be using a Kirtas Technologies APT BookScan 2400RA to digitize its collections. The company said that the 2400RA is capable of acquiring page images at the rate of 2,400 pages per hour. The library will be working with Ristech, a Canadian reseller, to implement the digitization solution.

The post says they will make scanned books available via print-on-demand services.
