Thanks to all of you who responded to my e-mail.  I have been checking
out the RAIN postings and they have been very helpful.  Thank you Peter!
 The website that you sent Lee, was also very helpful.

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend,

Laura

Hello Laura!

Maybe the outcome of the USB v. Warburg case would be helpful.  It's
been in the RAIN positings (Thanks again Peter!) and accessible through
the archive at http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html.

So far I only have cost avoidance re: paper storage or rather what
space would be needed and cost if we had no program in place.  I'm
working on the e-records black hole however & preservation issues.
