The paper industry deals with the creation and processing of paper sheets, and further processing into quires and scrolls. There are three major ways to create paper for books and scrolls - each depending on a different raw material.
Raw Materials
Processing
The raw material defines which techniques, workshops and labors are used.
Papyrus
Papyrus can be directly made into papyrus sheets at a farmer's workshop.
Parchment
Processing animal hides is more complex; you need to produce quicklime from calcium carbonate stones at a kiln, then process the quicklime to milk of lime at an ashery. Finally, the hide and milk of lime are used in a tanner's shop to create a parchment sheet. If the hide is from a cow, it's called "vellum sheet", otherwise it will take on the name of the animal (i.e. pig parchment sheet, sheep parchment sheet).
Plant fibers
Cloth plants are milled to slurry in a mill, then pressed to sheet in a screw press.
Finished goods
The sheets can then be further processed into finished goods.
Quires
1 sheet of paper can be crafted into 1 quire at a craftsdwarf's workshop.
Codices
After a quire has been filled with text it can be crafted into a codice at a craftsdwarf's workshop. This requires 1 quire, 1 book binding and 1 unused thread (yes you can use animal hair thread for this).
Scrolls
Sheets of paper can be combined with a scroll roller at a craftsdwarf's workshop to create scrolls.
