	Digitization for Scholarly Use (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As the library management group contemplated the library's entry into the digital arena, it became clear that for the Beinecke Library, which has both extraordinary range and depth of holdings, the options for digitization were virtually endless.
		The library is also influenced by experience with a scanning project that got underway at the same time as the Boswell project and is still ongoing: the scanning of over 10,000 public service photonegatives and other image material from the collections, comprising a cross-section of the library's visual material resources.
		Beinecke is a participant in the APIS project, a multi-institutional cataloging, preservation, and digitization project for papyrus, the goal of which is to provide bibliographic and Web-based image access to key papyrus collections nationally and internationally.
