BOCA RATON, FL. AUGUST 1ST, 2004

The Digital Library Systems Group at Image Access, a leader in innovative products for university libraries, today announced the introduction of OPUS. OPUS is production digitization software for university archive and special collections departments. OPUS is a tool that enables university libraries to digitize rare and special collections for the purpose of preservation and accessibility.

Features include:
- Unique barcode creation to identify each collection piece
- Two up scanning and image splitting - Automatic and manual Image treatments such as clip, crop, deskew, page split, book fold correction and many more
- Creation of user definable metadata capture templates to fit your choice of standard such as METS or Dublin Core and many more
- Automatic and manual capture of object and technical metadata
- Creation of multiple file derivatives such as text searchable PDF, JPEG, TIFF, TXT, PNG and many more
- Export of digital objects into your digital repository or back-end image management software such as Digitool, ContentDM and many more

OPUS is built upon the foundation of Image Access’ BSCAN software and therefore is compatible with nearly every production scanner available. OPUS is also scalable to allow for multiple users to perform each module in the workflow.
