Here at Ashland I use total recorder-a shareware program to record the
tape onto your hard drive.  Whatever program you have for your CD burner
will burn the file to a CD.  Also, if you do a lot of these tapes you
might want to have a dedicated PC setup to do these recording transfer.

Dear All,

I am working as a Project Coordinator for the College of Education at
the 
University of Maryland on researching and writing an online history of
the 
College.  One of the retired faculty members lent us some old
reel-to-reel 
tapes of lectures by former faculty that we would like to digitize so
that 
we can include sound clips on the websites. We don't have the budget to
be 
able to send the tapes out to be digitized, so I have to figure out how
to 
do this myself.  I have the tapes and a working reel-to-reel player,
but so 
far, have not figured out what software/hardware I need to be able to 
digitize these.  Do you have any suggestions on how this can be
successfully 
done?

Best,

Liz Tobey, Project Coordinator
