A case study in audio tape transfer 1988-11-01 5 .pdf application/pdf 3597 161 57 Of particular interest was such information as tape format (reel-to-reel, cassette), speed, number of tracks, tape type (paper, acetate, polyester), reel size, and tape thickness (measured in mils). Since the Library had never developed a formal acquisitions policy with respect to audio tape format, the survey was also to be used for collecting data on the types of recordĀ­ ings held in the Library, to ascertain whether ever changing technology presented problems in the playback and maintenance of these tapes, to assign restoration priorities for individual collections, and to make recommendations for the preservation of their intellectual content. cache/crln-19324.pdf txt/crln-19324.txt
