    Abstract
    The British Library's Initiatives for Access programme (1993-) aims to identify the impact and value of digital and networking technologies on the Library's collections and services. Describes the projects: the Electronic Beowulf, digitisation of ageing microfilm, digital photographic images, and use of the Excalibur retrieval software. Examines the ways in which the issues of preparation, scanning, and storage have been tackled, and problems raised by use of recognition technologies and compression

    Abstract
    Briefly describes the Excalibur EFS system which makes use of adaptive pattern recognition technology as an aid to automatic indexing and how it is being tested at the British Library for the indexing and retrieval of scanned images from the library's holdings. Notes how Excalibur EFS can support a wide degree of fuzzy searching, compensate for the errors produced by OCR conversion of scanned images, reduce the costs of indexing, and require far less storage space than more traditional indexes
