Microfilm Conversion :: PIP System (SUNY Orange)

Microfilm Conversion Print All

Initiative Title	Microfilm Conversion
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2015
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Our Microfiche students records are not in stored in a fire proof storage, which make us not compliant. We would like to digitally convert information from microfiche records dated 1950-1996 to pdf images to be stored in our current On Base system for retrieval. A proposal from April, 2017 quoted a price of $82,070.00 for the Scanning , Data Entry, Retrievals, Media and Transportation for all of our current files which we approximate to be 80,00 Microfiche cards with student information. I can provide that proposal upon request.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	By state and federal laws we are required to keep specific student academic records on file for ever. SUNY Orange currently has two copies of student records dating from 1950 to 1996. One is one set of microfiche records stored off site at Iron Mountain with an annual cost of $1,200.00 with projections of 10% increase each year. The other copy is located in the registrar’s office, but it is not secured in a fire proof container, which is a liability in case of disaster. Our current reader requires a service agreement of $750.00 annually and will have a projected increase each year of 10%. If the current reader can not be fixed in the future we would need to replace it. A new reader and printer cost between $3000.00 to $6000.00, with cost expected to raise as well.
