Best Book Scanning Service – Innovative Document Imaging
Our book scanning service is a specialized digitization operation that converts physical books and printed materials into digital formats.
IDI’s services can range from simple personal collections operations to sophisticated preservation services with conservation-grade handling for rare and valuable materials.
Book Scanning Solves the problems that come with hardcopy collections.
Physical Deterioration & Preservation
- Problem: Books deteriorate over time due to paper acidity, environmental factors, handling damage, and natural aging
- Solution: Digital preservation creates a permanent record that doesn’t degrade, capturing content in its current condition before further deterioration


Limited Accessibility
- Problem: Physical books can only be in one place at one time, limiting who can access them
- Solution: Digital copies enable simultaneous access by multiple users regardless of location
Storage Constraints
- Problem: Physical collections require significant space and controlled environmental conditions
- Solution: Digital libraries require only data storage, eliminating physical storage limitations


Search Limitations
- Problem: Finding specific information in physical books is time-consuming and relies on indexes/tables of contents
- Solution: Full-text searchability allows instant location of any word or phrase across entire collections
Fragility of Rare Materials
- Problem: Valuable or historical books face damage risks with each handling
- Solution: Digital surrogates allow content utilization without physical handling

Innovative Document Imaging’s book scanning services preserve and enhance collections of any industry and size.
When your organization is considering putting your collections, records, or archives into digital form you need to weigh the benefits and what having access to them in digital form may mean for your team and the public you are serving.
