CDL: Outsourcing book processing vs. preservation concerns

From: <abbottjp_at_appstate.edu> Date: Sun, 01 Mar 2009 03:06:56 GMT To: colldv-l_at_usc.edu

All, 

If you outsource your materials' processing, how do you balance that with
preservation issues such as using archival quality labels, jackets, etc.? Are
there outsourcing companies who adhere to preservation practices and if so, do
you pay dearly for that luxury?

Thank you for your response.
