[NHCOLL-L:795] Re: glue and annotations

[Kent Perkins]

"We" use the glue we mount with: PVA Jade 403.  This is a book binders glue
recommended to us by the UF Library Preservation Office.  A little is
applied with a paint brush on one or both ends of the annotation slip.

I use "we" in quotes because I don't have complete control over what each
researcher here uses.  I do have influence and certainly do cajole people
to do things the right way.

If anyone finds that there are archival glue sticks, please let me know.
They may be easier to work with.

Also, if anyone believes that the Jade is a bad choice, please inform me.

Thanks,
Kent
