Photographing books at an intentional keystone using fiducial markers
Jacob Levernier
University of Pennsylvania, United States of America
This presentation will discuss ongoing work developing new, inexpensive, collapsible hardware and open-source software designed to photograph books at an intentional keystone in order to keep books open at acute angles. Using fiducial markers, images can be digitally de-keystoned as if they had been photographed straight-on.

Emily Shaw
The Ohio State University Libraries, United States of America
The Ohio State University Libraries is developing a workflow for depositing locally-scanned books to HathiTrust, vis-à-vis the Internet Archive. By bypassing our local IT infrastructure, we can focus more on metadata enhancement and scanning, and build our local preservation repository around non-book content.
