Hi, Jonathan,

I have been corresponding off-and-on with a data tape restorer on the 
East Coast and I suggested baking some of the old data tapes and I think 
he's had some success with that for data.

Sony multi-track digital audio tapes are responding well to baking and 
these are nothing more or less than data tapes.

Hopefully, if the tapes were not damaged in the recovery effort, baking 
will allow them to be recovered. Often, playing a tape that requires 
baking without baking it will do irreparable harm to it.

If the data can be recovered, hopefully the holding locations could be 
matched to the original data and linked and then added to the WorldCat 
database.

Cheers,

Richard

You can limit your search in Worldcat to Rigler-Deutsch records in one of at least two ways (thanks to Jay Weitz from OCLC for pointing this out on the MLA list recently):

We also hold a set of 31 computer tapes from the time of the project, that supposedly contain all of the data from the project (http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/6762360). A Stanford University Libraries alum, Jerry Persons, led a project in 2013 aimed at trying to recover this data. Unfortunately, it was discovered that the majority of these tapes could no longer be read. Results from this attempted recovery project along with a copy of the final report from the RDI project (from 1984), can be found here http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/jd276dz9994.

Quality tape transfers -- even from hard-to-play tapes.
