New Partnership Between Dotsoft S.A. and the Municipality of Amorgos!

A project that will spiritually enrich the Cyclades began on December 22, 2022, with the signing of a contract in Chora, Amorgos, for the “Recording and Digital Presentation of the Municipal Library of Amorgos.” The project was assigned by the Municipality of Amorgos to Dotsoft S.A., a company specializing in integrated web and database applications, which, as part of the project, is digitizing and documenting approximately 15,000 book titles.

The scope of the project includes:

· Recording and documentation of 4,000 books from the Municipal Library of Chora, Amorgos. The library’s archive contains the titles of the books that will be recorded and documented. The documentation process will follow and complement the recording process.

· Digitization of documents and rare books, totaling 15,000 pages, from the Municipal Library of Chora, Amorgos. The goal of this digitization effort is to promote and, consequently, enable the scientific utilization of this material by making it accessible to the public.

· Procurement of equipment (computers) for the management of the material by the library staff and for visitor information, as well as a book scanner to complete the digitization of the remaining library archive.

· Procurement of library management software, aimed at improving services for the library’s members. The software will allow book searches and loan reservations.

The duration for the completion of the contract is eight (8) months.
