Case Study: A Hybrid Approach To Preserving Scrapbooks Using Digitization, Mary Elizabeth Downing Mlis, David Obermayer

Standards Collections: Considerations For The Future, Margaret Phillips

Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research

Technical standards are a form of gray literature that describe consensus for a wide variety of applications. They promote safety, quality, and interchangeability of parts.
