NOA Celebrates 15 Years of Collaboration with National Library of Finland

NOA Celebrates 15 Years of Collaboration with National Library of Finland: AV digitizing and archiving specialists NOA GmbH continues to provide support to Finland’s National Library, which boasts a large collection of historical resources and Finnish publications. The organization is responsible for the collection, description, preservation and accessibility of Finland’s printed national heritage and the unique collections under its care. Geared to researchers, students and all who are interested in the resources of the National Library of Finland, the organization has opted to continue work with NOA after 15 years of excellent collaboration. The audio digitization unit is in Mikkeli, where library’s digitisation facilities are located. As a big audio archive the library faced the task of how to preserve the fragile audio collection, which is growing year by year – a typical destiny of a national library receiving donations. The library decided to form a dedicated audio mass digitization unit to digitize as effectively as possible large quantities of audio material. NOA has continued to provide — over the years — constant software and hardware updates, resulting in consecutive years of fruitful cooperation. The organization has been using the NOARecord with N6000/N7000c audio hardware units, a CD Lector, the NOA JobDB workflow orchestration system, MediaButler transcoding processors, as well as the DBScripter, which is a script interpreter for executing scripts in NOA systems through a basic interpreter language and an embedded integrated development environment (IDE).
