OK, I asked a friend who works at our city library. They use a very high-tech system involving a page (apprentice librarian), a librarian, any old digital camera someone brings from home, and a chair.
Step 1: Page places book on table, open to title page.
Step 2: Librarian kneels on chair.
Step 3: Librarian shoots page (title page, not apprentice librarian).
So that's it! Preservation recordation at cash-strapped urban libraries in the 21st Century. Hope this helps.
