have advantages as applied to circulating books. First they add annotation functionalities
to print that are familiar in digital research environments. Second they dis-incline
writing in the books themselves. The preservation worker should educate Post-It

distributed in the library should carry this simple instruction, complements of
the Preservation Department.
