FW: water damage/repair query
Dear Cindy & Beth:
Slick, clay-coated papers are the worst, because they bond together. So do
not interleave with paper towels. And whatever you do, avoid talcum powder!
But for uncoated papers, there may be more hope. Ask your local and/or
regional conservators.

Dear Cindy:
I'll defer to more knowledgeable colleagues but I've been told by others
that you have 48 hours to deal with wet books and after that, it's too
late. I actually attempted to pull apart pages of some student newspapers
(they were printed on glossy paper rather than standard newspaper)--I had
some success using a long, flat envelope opener. I was able to separate
most of the pages but lost some information.
By the way... what's with the "boringlibrarian" in your email address?
