Re: Costs of maintaining digitized documents



Bob,
That metric appeared in Volume 3, Number 5, October 15, 1999 of  RLG
DigiNews.  The url at that time was
http://www.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/diginews3-5.html.  Don't know if this is
still active or not.  I can fax you a hard copy if you can't locate.  Dick
