Subject: [RM] Electronic media stored with paper records at a storage
facility

Does anyone know what the lifespan of electronic media e.g., DVDs, CDs
and diskettes is when it's stored at a storage facility in a non-climate
controlled environment with paper records?  I like to advise folks that
if they store electronic media with paper records in a non-climate
controlled environment that it might impact the integrity of the media.
 
Thank you.
 
J. Paige
