will deliver to the Contractor. The Contractor will subcontract with Backstage Library Works (BSLW)
and Digital Divide Data (DDD) to have the microfilm scanned and processed. Both companies will
invoice the CBSR for all work done. The Agency will pay the Contractor at the start of the project for the
estimated costs for digitization and for transport of materials and files. The Contractor will provide the
Agency with copies of all invoices, if requested. The Contractor will notify The Agency if funds run out
before processing is completed and provide an estimate of the cost to finish processing the remaining
images. If no additional funding can be provided for the remaining unprocessed images, The Contractor

performance of work, as set forth below:

The project will start by 17 Nov 2019 and is projected to complete by 30 Nov 2020.
Costs
The Contractor assumes an average of 850 pages per reel. 850 pages/reel x 209 reels = 177,650 pages.
The cost to scan is $0.07 per frame. Assuming the reels are filmed "2Up" or 2 pages per frame, which is
usually the case, 88,825 frames at $0.07/frame is $6,217.75.
The cost to digitize is $0.29/page. 177,650 pages at $0.29/page is $51,518.50.
UCOP charges the Contractor an "assessment" fee to manage funds collected. 3% of $57,736.25
($6,217.75 + $51,518.50) is $1,732.
Total estimated cost is $59,468.
Compensation and Payment

California public libraries that were considering a local newspaper digitization project. The
California Digital Newspaper Collection (CDNC), a project of the Center for Bibliographic Studies
and Research (CBSR) at the University of California, Riverside, provides full -text online access
to over 100,000 historical newspaper issues is a freely accessible repository of digitized California
newspapers from 1846 to the present.
The Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research (CBSR) began digitizing newspapers in
2005 as one of the initial participants in the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP) run by
the Library of Congress. CBSR received five two-year awards from NDNP and contributed
more than half a million pages to the project, which is publicly accessible at
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/
In 2007 the CBSR launched the California Digital Newspaper Collection (CDNC) with the initial
100,000 pages contributed to NDNP and about 50,000 pages digitized through a grant from the
California State Library through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), which they
administer. To date CBSR received twelve LSTA awards, 2005-2019, to digitize historic
California newspapers and add them to the CDNC. Its first partnership with a local project was
in 2008, with the Sausalito Public Library. Over the intervening years CBSR has partnered with
more than 2 dozen institutions around the state to help them digitize their local newspapers. In
total, the CDNC has digitized more than 12 million newspaper pages since its start in 2005.
For California and other repositories contemplating newspaper digitization projects, the CBSR
offers free professional consultation to help guide these institutions through the complexities of
digitization, standards, access, preservation and copyright. Libraries can collaborate with the

CBSR to have their California newspaper collections digitized and made publicly available
through the CDNC. CDNC serves nearly 1.25 million users per year and is considered one of the
best online newspaper repositories in the country. It is supported in part by the U.S. Institute of
Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act,
administered in California by the State Librarian.
DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS
What is important to the National City Public Library?
1. Preserving the newspapers collection
2. Having better and easier access to the collection
3. Not incurring expensive and ongoing maintenance costs
The digitization process scans the pages to create high -resolution TIFF images. TIFF images are
then processed or "digitized" to create derivative files, including a JP2, PDF, and M$TS/AL TO
XML for each page. The CDNC traditionally digitized to article -level rather than just page -level.
Individual "segments" on a page — articles, illustrations, advertisement, etc. — are identified during
digitization and can be retrieved by the researcher.
The Local History Room currently has a collection of 209 reels of local newspapers on microfilm
as follows:
National City Record: 1882 — 1903 10 reels
National City News: 1903 — 1954 33 reels
National City Star -News: 1955 — 1996 136 reels
Chula Vista Star News 1996 — 2008 30 reels
Cost Comparison:
The National City Public Library reached out to three contractors specializing in microfilm
digitization and received the following quotes:
1 California Revealed
- TIFF at 400 PPI, 8-bit grayscale
- XML files with descriptive and technical metadata
- No hosting fee
- Turnaround time: 10 months
- Estimated cost: $167,700
2. Backstage Library Works

Staff Report: Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City approving the agreement between the National City

January 21. 2020
- TIFF at 300 PPI, 8-bit grayscale
- Metadata at page -level
- Turnaround time: 12 —18 months
- Estimated cost: $153,000
3. Center for Bibliographic Studies — UC Riverside
- High resolution TIFF images
- Metadata at article -level
- No hosting fee on
- Turnaround time: 10 —12 months
- Estimated cost: $59,468
After thorough deliberation and comparison between the contractors, National City Public
Library determines that the Center for Bibliographic Studies — UC Riverside through its
California Digital Newspaper Collection (CDNC) Project offers high quality product at a lower
cost.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the newspapers on microfilm's digitization will be defrayed by a donation from the
Friends of the National City Public Library.
RECOMMENDATION(S)
Adopt the resolution.

Project Objectives and Requirements
The Contractor will digitize 177,650 pages of the National City Record, National City News, and
National City Star -News, from 1882 through 2008. The Agency has 209 reels of positive microfilm they
will deliver to the Contractor. The Contractor will subcontract with Backstage Library Works (BSLW)
and Digital Divide Data (DDD) to have the microfilm scanned and processed. Both companies will
invoice the CBSR for all work done. The Agency will pay the Contractor at the start of the project for the
estimated costs for digitization and for transport of materials and files. The Contractor will provide the
Agency with copies of all invoices, if requested. The Contractor will notify The Agency if funds run out
before processing is completed and provide an estimate of the cost to finish processing the remaining
images. If no additional funding can be provided for the remaining unprocessed images, The Contractor
will complete the project up to the $59,468 cost limit.
Scope of Work, Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria
Contractor shall provide services and staff, and otherwise do all things necessary for or incidental to the
performance of work, as set forth below:
1. Receive microfilm reels from Agency.
2. Contract with Backstage Library Works to create TIFF images from reels.
3. Contract with DDD to process images to create deliverables as defined below.
4. Conduct quality assessment of files created by DDD by loading into staging version of CDNC
hosting software (http://staging.cdnc.ucr.edu) and make those files available to Agency also for
QC.
5. Provide copies of files to Agency on external hard drive purchased by Agency.
6. Host the data in the CDNC (http://cdnc.ucr.edu) at no cost to the Agency.
The Contractor shall produce deliverables that conform to METS/ALTO specifications as described by
the Library of Congress, scanned to article -level accuracy.
Timeline and Period of Performance
The project will start by 17 Nov 2019 and is projected to complete by 30 Nov 2020.
Costs
The Contractor assumes an average of 850 pages per reel. 850 pages/reel x 209 reels = 177,650 pages.
The cost to scan is $0.07 per frame. Assuming the reels are filmed "2Up" or 2 pages per frame, which is
usually the case, 88,825 frames at $0.07/frame is $6,217.75.
The cost to digitize is $0.29/page. 177,650 pages at $0.29/page is $51,518.50.
UCOP charges the Contractor an "assessment" fee to manage funds collected. 3% of $57,736.25
($6,217.75 + $51,518.50) is $1,732.
Total estimated cost is $59,468.
Compensation and Payment
At the beginning of the project, The Agency shall pay The Contractor $30,000 for the performance of all
activities necessary for or incidental to the performance of work as set forth in this SOW. The Agency
will pay the Contractor the remaining balance, detailed in the invoices, at the completion of the project.
