Box?
Withdraw?

Photocopy Reprints
Grainy quality Generational loss
Created by automatic scanning Pictures may be dark or
blotchy Maps or other foldouts
may be omitted
Overall not bad
Printed text
May be high quality, effectively a new edition
Illustrations and maps may be included
Watch out for printing anomalies
Printed (uncorrected) OCR
Font is lovely, text is often garbage
No illustrations, tables
Table of contents and index omitted (or point to other pages)
Wikipedia printouts Good way to get otherwise
unavailable content into your library
May include multiple articles (hypertext!)
Why not just catalog the Wikipedia article?
Out of date quickly, but probably not vandalized
