i2S Book Scanners Canada: FADGI-Compliant Digitization for Libraries, Archives and Museums
Introduction
For Canadian libraries, archives, museums, and service bureaus managing serious digitization programs, equipment choice is a critical decision. The wrong scanner leads to missed compliance targets, damaged collections, and projects that require costly re-scanning.
i2S (Digibook) has spent 30 years engineering book scanners specifically for cultural heritage. Their equipment is used by national archives and major research libraries worldwide. In Canada, Ristech is the exclusive distributor. This means Canadian institutions receive local support, on-site service, and a team that understands the specific requirements of Canadian public and academic libraries, archives, and government digitization contracts.
Why i2S for Canadian Institutions?
FADGI 3-star and 4-star compliance. FADGI compliance is increasingly a requirement for Canadian government digitization contracts, grant applications, and institutional repository submissions. i2S scanners carry documented compliance ratings rather than just claims.
French-language software support. The LIMB software suite used across the i2S range supports French-language interfaces and workflows.
Configurable, open systems. The i2S open system architecture allows institutions to select the camera, book cradle, and software configuration that matches their specific collection.
