A single-page web application for library staff to search for the scanned PDF files.
This is a work in slow progress, as my daily job requires me to focus on the business.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the library I was working at has seen a great increase in demand for chapters/pages scan. As many courses move online or the shipping channels are significantly disrupted, scanning a small part of a book for courses is faster and more flexible.
Yet as the number of the scans also increases, it becomes harder for the library staff to check:
- which chapter (or part) from which book has been scanned
- where is a specific scan stored in Google Drive
This project aims to solve the problem.
As far as the copyright, and the scanned files, is concerned, the library follows such guidelines as the following:
- up to 2 chapters from a book can be scanned;
- up to 20% from a book can be scanned;
- whichever of the above comes first, we have to stop scanning.
