UTAS Library theses digitilisation project
October 9, 2009 by utaslibThe Library will soon begin the task of digitising our collection of University of Tasmania theses. At first we will digitise the 100 most requested volumes. We have chosen CAVAL’s book scanning service (using a robotic photographic scanner) to do the work. We have recently received the first thesis scanned by CAVAL. The orginal given to CAVAL was a yellowing typed thesis from the 1960s and we are very pleased with the quality of the scanned product. You can see the thesis at http://eprints.utas.edu.au/9287/.
