Among other things: «scanning ephemera, which doesn’t usually have a binding and which can fit in a flatbed scanner, is generally better for people to be scanning than books and magazines. In general. If you want to “help”, that’ll “help” more than anything. 600+ DPI. Use TIFF or another lossless format. Look it up». However, if you are in New York area, he may let you use his shiny $25,000 book scanner (Internet Archive's Scribe) for those piles of books and magazines. ;-)

Thanks for pointing this article out. It's a good read! :-)
