I would like to talk with any folks who can collaborate or help
establishing a book scanner in Oakland. I am talking about a complete
system, finished, effective and quick. I myself need to be able to scan
quantities of books several times a month easily. I cannot afford the total
cost maybe $1500 of the base kit, cameras(aprox $100 per) and computer
hardware of full fledged system recommended by
http://www.diybookscanner.org
https://store.diybookscanner.org/collections/frontpage/
products/archivist-quill-book-scanner-base-kit

There are many DIY project designs out there and software great to tinker
with. But, what I am interested in is quickly completing setting up a fast
stable system(or getting one donated or purchased) - and working with the
projects and issues that begin at that point: starting with scanning lots
of books. I have a huge number of books I need to scan for personal and
political projects which have broader applications.

I would prefer working on a system that could serve many people and needs -
and I would be interested in being part of a collective working on getting
books scanned and converted to accessible formats (particularly
http://daisy.org) - but also interested in working on making the system
available to more people and the whole thing accessible for the disabled. I
am also interested in discussing working on the further extensions of
accommodating reading disabilities, books and computer access for the
blind.

I volunteer at Revolution Books to fight the power and transform the people
for revolution. I have a good basis in literature of art, politics,
history, science and international fiction needing to be read and made
available. I have a reading disability.  I have taught TV production and
media in public schools. I live in Oakland.
