Lending Workflow - Easy Article Conversion

 

Being able to convert your ILL-friendly e-journal articles from PDF to
TIFF can be a real life saver, as it enables you to lend articles
quickly without photocopying (be sure to check your licenses before
supplying). There are a few different ways that you can convert files
from PDF to TIFF. This can greatly enhance your ability to lend from
your ILL-friendly electronic holdings. This eliminates having to print
and scan e-journal articles.

ABOUT THE WORKFLOW TOOLKIT

The Workflow Toolkit is a repository of best practices for ILLiad users.
The Toolkit is being developed by the Information Delivery Services
(IDS) Project, in partnership with Atlas Systems. The goal of the
Workflow Toolkit is to provide a source of tools and best practices to
help ILLiad users provide the most effective resource sharing possible.

The Workflow Toolkit draws upon the contributions of the ILLiad
community.

Subject: [ILL-L] converting e-journal articles

 

 I know that most of you are converting e-journal articles instead of
printing and scanning.  We are too, using a very long process called:
Informatik pdf Complete

 

I am interested in what other processes there are that may be
faster/simpler.

 

Thanks in advance,
