Corrections

• In the last issue, in the Events column, a fee of $350 was announced for the University of Iowa Libraries Mellon-funded advanced conservation workshops. This is totally wrong: Qualified applicants will receive a stipend of $350.
• Luis Nadeau, whose "Chronology of Office Copying Processes (PDF)" is being offered through this office, writes to say that the final version of this chronology will appear not in the third edition of his Encyclopedia, but in the third volume of the first edition, which is scheduled for late 1992.
