BCR/PACific DATA Conversion Alliance
PACific DATA CONVERSION CORPORATION (PDCC) has announced an alliance with
the Bibliographical Center for Research (BCR) to offer a comprehensive range of data
conversion services at discounted rates to BCR's 475 member libraries and 1,550 serviced
libraries.
BCR is responding to its library members' growing need to convert all types of data to
machine-readable form for improved access as well as for preservation. BCR selected
PDCC as a conversion vendor because of the company's emphasis on tailoring
conversion services to the unique requirements of each client and its familiarity with
the library community. PDCC has a long history of working with libraries. For many
years, PDCC specialized in converting library shelf lists and catalog cards to MARC
formatted records, including tagging and keying. The recent emergence of the digital
library has afforded PDCC the opportunity to provide support for converting paper-based and microform-based resources to electronic text and databases in support of
virtual library projects.
PDCC provides large-scale conversion services to clients in a wide variety of industries
supporting electronic publishing, technical documentation, litigation support, image
scanning, MARC, SGML, XML and HTML formats, including TEI-Lite, EAD and E-Bind
DTD's. PDCC also provides DTD development services. Projects are custom-developed
for each client.
