I research for clients at the NIH Library located just outside
Washington, DC in Bethesda, Maryland.
I usually work for media outlets or academics, but will consider
all offers.
Outputs:
Because most of the research papers in this science library are in the
form of tightly-bound journals or microfilm, photocopying is the
only sensible option. These photocopies are then scanned to
produce
text-recognized* PDF files. These can be either e-mailed on a nightly basis
to the client or, in the case of files too large for
e-mail, posted to a website for easy downloading.
Prices:
I charge $290.00 per day.
All photocopying is paid for by the client.
* Note: Searchable
text-recognized PDF files are created after the image has been
converted into a PDF file using an OCR (optical character
recognition) program. Such files are searchable by many search
engines, such as Windows Desktop Search and Google Desktop Search or
the search tool that in included with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
These search tools do not work with handwriting and can be
imprecise, especially with old documents written with manual
typewriters.
