How Many Photocopies is too Many?
I think this question has been recently discussed, but I need some
help. Last fall, an out-of-state patron requested 1000 photocopies from
a collection. A grad student was hired, and the photocopying was done.
Now, the patron would like the remaining folders copied (ca. 2000 more
copies). In all, the 6 folders or 3000 items constitute the entire
correspondence of one area, but a small percentage of the collection.
What is standard practice in other Special Collections and/or archives.
Do you make this many photocopies for a patron? We haven't had this
question before and would like some suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
