CDL: The BRITTLE program

From:  Darby Orcutt <darby_orcutt_at_ncsu.edu>

An interesting program fyi.

    BRITTLE is a program run out of the University of Kansas Libraries 
to provide low-cost, preservation-quality copies of old and brittle 
books.  I've found it useful both as a preservation and a collection 
development tool.  Copies already held of items on the list are likely 
to be brittle themselves.  Items not already held may be candidates 
for retrospective collection development, as most are older imprints 
now in the public domain.  Information about the program and 
instructions for joining the listserv may be found at
