Greetings!
nextScan is appreciative of your support for our innovative microfilm and microfiche conversion approach for the 21st century. As a result of this support, nextScan’s presence and customer base in Latin America has tripled in the last two years. To further this growth and equip nextScan customers with only the best in film and fiche scanning technology, we would like to introduce to you NextStar, a revolutionary approach to film and fiche scanning that reduces conversion costs by optimizing equipment utilization and operator productivity. With NextStar’s unique “Ribbon Scanning” approach, the software digitizes an entire roll of film or jacket of fiche from top-to-bottom and end-to-end in grayscale, and stores it as a single file, solving most of the problems encountered from density and filming related issues while eliminating the need for costly and time consuming rescans. This unique feature allows the user to verify that all images were captured, and NextStar identifies any image detection and density problems automatically. With NextStar software, there is no processing during the scan phase, allowing the scanner to run at full rated speed – there is no sacrifice of capture capability. Scanned images are sent to different workstations for review, and can be shared among multiple operators, even remotely. NextStar delivers unmatched image quality, and outputs images that actually match your database. NexStar supports multiple film and fiche formats for scanning, from 16 and 35mm microfilm, to jacketed or COM microfiche. NextStar has digital image output capabilities in multiple formats as well, to include TIFF, PDF and JPG among others. NextStar allows the user to manage the end-to-end conversion process. Set up and scanning are easy, little operator training is required and it is modular and expandable to operate within multiple environments. We also invite you to visit our website, featuring enhanced ease-of-use and functionality for those seeking information about nextScan products, successful case studies that illustrate the Ribbon Scanning and its potential, services, news and upcoming events.

Feature Case StudynextScan Facilitates Microfilm Conversion for National Newspaper Digitization Program in Australia In the fall of 2006, as part of a collaborative program to locate, collect and preserve every newspaper ever published in Australia, the National Library of Australia (National Library) initiated the Australian Newspapers Digitization Program (ANDP) http://www.nla.gov.au/ndp. The ultimate goal of the Program is to vastly improve access for all Australians to the rich source of Australian documentary history that newspapers provide. Over a period of four years the National Library is working closely with the Australian state and territory libraries to digitize and make available approximately 3.5 million pages of newspaper content.
The Challenge. The scope of the ANDP is to work with the Australian state and territory libraries to source selected microfilm for out-of-copyright newspapers for the period 1803 (the date of the first newspaper published in Australia) to 1954. The initial focus is on one major title from each Australian state, including The Sydney Gazette, The Argus and The Courier Mail. The intention is to also extend the Program to include regional and community titles in the future. The content on every newspaper page will be digitized and have Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing applied so that the text is searchable. The articles will also be segmented and categorized so that users will be able to limit and refine searching across news articles, display advertising, classified advertising and family notices including birth death and marriage notices, which are so important for genealogical research. Significant issues for the program include: how to convert such a vast amount of content over a 4 year period, and cost effectively no less? How to ensure that all parts of the Program will work seamlessly and within the National Library’s timeframe – from scanning of the microfilm, quality assurance, OCR processing, storage, and online access? Stated Rose Holley, Australian Newspapers Digitization Program Manager, “We had to clearly define all steps of this Program and choose the best provider for each step. If we did not, we would be unable to meet our time and budget constraints, not to mention being unable to build into the future on this initiative, making even more Australian historical newspaper content available online.”
