[PADG:1836] Re: Research Interview

Adrienne - I disagree with you on availability of information on
preservation administration.   My vertical files have 5 inches of
information on preservation management, and my library has 16 inches on the
shelf filled with preservation administration manuals (not how-to books).
I can fax you a bibliography of some of the books and articles that
appeared on the topic in the 1990s, if you like.  And each article and book
has its own bibliography, of course.
