October 2020
School is back in session with hybrid sessions and so is IDI. Our new headquarters will be completed in 2 weeks and we are excited and looking forward to moving in. The facility will adhere to all new COVID-19 related guidelines as our main concern is the safety of our clients and employees.
Currently IDI employees are working five different ways: from home, from our temporary facility in East Brunswick NJ, in our Shelton, Connecticut E-beam facility, on location at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts and in our Wakefield location in the United Kingdom.
We are pleased to announce two exciting upcoming IDI Zoom Platform Webinars. The first one is titled Imaging for Independent Schools on October 20th. The second Webinar is Imaging for Public Libraries on November 5th. Invitations will be going out via email very shortly. If you are interested please click the invitation link below to review the seminar agendas and to register. Don’t miss out as these sessions will fill up quickly.
Imaging projects have started to return and IDI is currently digitizing: books for a New York University, newspapers for a New Jersey library, 35mm microfilm for a well know publisher, lab books and other intellectual knowledge documents for a pharmaceutical company, contracts for a music publisher and large drawings for a NYC housing project, maps and drawings for a construction company, and files for a local utility organization. We also have five employees working on a ongoing pharmaceutical NDA classification project.
IDI provides transcription services for our clients which is an excellent way to enrich a collection. We recently digitized lectures and sermons from audio cassettes for a publishing company and we are outputting both XML and text transcriptions. We are also completing a voluminous cemetery ledger project that includes both digital images and very detailed text transcription.
During the past 6 months we have added Digi-Find-it web portals for the Junior League of Montclair-Newark, Edison Public Library and John L. Street Library in Kentucky. Digi-Find-it Portals and imaging play an important roll in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic by providing easy access to history and files while studying, researching or working from home.
