[PADG:1137] Mass Deacidification

[Sue Kellerman <lsk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Janet,

Penn State and six other CIC institutions are currently using the 
Bookkeepers process.  Several of us have been PTLP customers from years, 
like Northwestern.  Others of us have at least one year of experience.   As 
you know, the PSU experience has been documented in LRTS (v. 43, no.3; July 
1999) .  I'd be glad to talk to you about our experience or if you like I 
can give you contact names from the CIC.

See you at ALA.

Sue
