style='font-size:12.0pt'>We are contacting you in regards to a <b><i><span
style='font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>FREE </span></i></b>project
we’re doing to digitize the High-School yearbooks at all of the libraries
in your state. The program is called "The Yearbook Project", and it
is sponsored by the Records Conversion Department at OCI; as I previously
stated<i><span style='font-style:italic'>…<b><span style='font-weight:

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>The Yearbook Project came about after it was brought
to our attention that high schools and local libraries throughout Oklahoma were
losing their yearbooks. Some were being destroyed by natural disasters, and
others were being destroyed by people cutting images out of them. Once they are
gone or damaged it is nearly impossible to replace them and these yearbooks are
irreplaceable because of their historical value alone. The Records Conversion
and Digital Imaging departments also use this program as an advertising tool to
highlight the quality of work we do here at OCI. There’s no obligation
for our other services, we would just hope you keep us in mind if you ever do
need them.</span></font></p>

Our Records Conversion department has been in business for thirty (30) years
and consists of four areas; Data Entry, Digital Imaging, Image Review &
Verification, and Microfilm. <font color=red><span style='color:red'>We do
records conversion for every state agency in</span></font> <font color=red><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>We decided to start a project where we could help
preserve these books and their historical content. After beginning this
process, we discovered there is a great need for this service by the
overwhelming response we’ve received. OCI decided to expand our free
project by contacting other states with this offer. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Our goal is to digitize and preserve as many high
school yearbooks as possible using our non-destructive scanning method. This
ensures that the yearbooks are not damaged and that they are returned in their
original condition. The yearbooks are scanned at 300 dpi and saved in a [jpeg]
format. Meaning, they are done with <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Publisher
Quality</span></i> so that libraries can digitally reprint any books, just a
few pages, or a single image from the DVD for anyone who would like a
copy, or you can burn-off DVD’s and sell them. This can been a good way
to raise money for your library with Class Reunions, Alumni Groups, Historical
Societies, etc.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>After the yearbooks are scanned, they are returned to
your library along with a set of DVD’s containing each yearbook. <u>These
DVD’s belong to the library</u> and you can then load it in your computer
database for everyone to access. In addition, if you would like to contact the
area high schools and add to your current collection, we will provide a second
set of DVD’s to share with the schools (also free) and their books would
be returned to you. <i><span style='font-style:italic'>Just be sure to let us
know which school(s) to include an extra set for.</span></i> The only thing needed
to be done from your side is for you and/or your staff to box them up (no more
than 25-30 in a copier-paper size box, please) tape them securely and make two
inventory sheets, <i><span style='font-style:italic'>one for yourself and one
to be put in the box</span></i>. You’ll then call us and let us know what
day you would like scheduled for pick-up and we will take care of the rest with
FED-EX. <u>We will send you the shipping-labels</u> via-email and the books
will be returned to you within 2-3 weeks. Whether you have only a few or
hundreds, we would be happy to be of service to you.</span></font></p>
