  1. Facsimile Reprints and Reproductions as Preservation Copies Kathryn Lybarger KLA/KSMA Joint Spring Conference 2012 April 12, 2012

  2. Brittle Books project • Box? • Withdraw? • Replace?

  3. Photocopy Reprints • Grainy quality • Generational loss • Created by automatic scanning • Pictures may be dark or blotchy • Maps or other foldouts may be omitted • Overall not bad

  4. Printed text • May be high quality, effectively a new edition • Illustrations and maps may be included • Watch out for printing anomalies

  5. Printed (uncorrected) OCR • Font is lovely, text is often garbage • No illustrations, tables • Table of contents and index omitted (or point to other pages)

  6. Wikipedia printouts • Good way to get otherwise unavailable content into your library • May include multiple articles (hypertext!) • Why not just catalog the Wikipedia article? • Out of date quickly, but probably not vandalized
