I've been lurking for a couple of years on the list and have been amazed
by the breadth and wealth of knowledge present, so I come to you to say
"hi" and ask a question about equipment necessary for scanning documents
for retrieval.

 

I've been appointed the project lead on a RIM project for our library.
My first obstacle is figuring out what to do with our half-sheet,
double-sided, card stock library card applications that we have stored.
We are looking at purchasing OCR equipment that will scan these cards
and convert them into text files for retrieval.  I was wondering if
anyone could recommend a piece of equipment that would serve our
purposes.  I fully admit that I don't actually know what I don't know
about the machines, so please help me at least figure out the questions
I should be asking.  

 

Thanks a bunch for your time and any help you can give.
