Use Case FAQ
Yes. Most schools start with one goal, such as an alumni center kiosk, and then use the same library for reunions, the school library, athletics, and senior celebrations. Your yearbooks are digitized once and can be shown in as many places as you like.
You can start either way. Many schools launch a web-based yearbook library first and add a lobby or library touchscreen later. Both use the same content, so nothing needs to be redone.
Our digitization process is designed for archival materials, including fragile, oversized, and early-1900s volumes. Originals are handled with care and returned to you, and the digital copies protect them from further wear.
Absolutely. You can make a collection public, password-protected, or limited to signed-in users, and you can set different rules for different years or volumes.
