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 Marilyn Kirk / Spock * 2008 Leadership for the Future
