See the brand new NIST report on storage and handling of optical discs. I'm home and can't give you a citation, but it was posted today, either to ARSC or MLA- I forget which. I'm about halfway through it, distracted by the World Series, but it looks pretty, you should pardon the expression, sound- better than the Bogart one for tape. After the new document has circulated a bit, I expect there will be a number of comments which will appear on this site.
