Carrie, as far as the symbols to put around the phrase "blank page", on blank
pages, I would say that I don't put the phrase on blank pages. I always thought
it was unnecessary to point out something that is pretty obvious. Sighted
people don't seem to need any such phrase to indicate a blank page, so I don't
see why blind or print impaired people would need one either.
The braille translator, and it seems braille translators in general, don't like
spaces between the periods. The elipsis doesn't translate correctly if the
periods have spaces between them.

Hi gang,
Three things:
1) Collection Development has just put in about 100 NIMAC books into the
collection. Not all of the meta-data is correct, so we will be correcting it
over the next few days. No need to tell us about it, we know! We'll take care
of it, we promise. And we'll be putting in some Open E-books into the
collection in the next few days too. We have made special arrangements to put
in e-books, please don't add your e-books to the collection.
2) I don't remember what the final conclusion was, about what symbols to add
around the phrase "blank page" on blank pages? Did you all agree on angle
brackets (<>) or square brackets ([])?
3) The other thing I don't recall is about 3 dots in a row. Should they have
spaces between them (. . .) or not (...)?
Thanks for your help! Carrie
