Can you tell me what the different practices of the USPS and commercial carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.) are concerning the shipment of magnetic tapes? If this material is being shipped is it subject to scanning that can erase the tapes? -- Jerry McBride, Head Librarian Music Library and Archive of Recorded Sound President, Music Library Association Braun Music Center, Room 104 Stanford University 541 Lasuén Mall Stanford, CA 94305-3076 [log in to unmask] 650-725-1146 650-725-1145 (fax)
