[PADG:1342] Re: Cost-share Question

[Deborah Perotti <Deborah_Perotti@xxxxxxxx>]

In regard to the string about mass deacidification, is the inclusion of the note
that "intellectual copyrights [should be] adhered to" for instances of when pages
in books need to be copied for some reason? Pages might need to be copied for
books that will be mass deacidified if they are missing or damaged?. What are
some of the other reasons that copyright enters into the mass deacidification
process?

Thanks,

Deborah Perotti
