Governmental Scanning

Case Study

The Montana State Library plans to close its doors at the start of the year and will instead offer its resources online. The library said very little will be lost in the transition, although certain services such as walk-in access to a number of newspapers will be gone. State Librarian Darlene Staffeldt said that those things can be found elsewhere, such as at a local library.

Staffeldt said the new system will offer access to many more people in the state who can't travel to the library to look at archives, documents, journals and other information stored there.

She said she expects the new keyword and full-text searches will give more people access to the collection, especially as the librarians busily scan items and put them in digital format.

"It's a process we will be working toward," she said.

Staffeldt said the library's walk-in traffic is very low, but she didn't know how many people used the service.

She said other states are moving to digitize their archives and offer them electronically, but she did not know of any state libraries that had made the move to close the doors.

"I guess it's a big step. It's a logical step," she said. "It's a step that has been happening across the country."
