Hopefully this is not preservation work. It takes a great deal of expertise in addition to hardware and software to do it correctly.

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?
