Magnetic Tape Storage (1Dec93)
(from CCS, NOAO Newsletter No. 36, 1 December 1993)

We still have many old tapes hanging in our tape library that are
signed out to non-NOAO staff, including mountain T-tapes. On 1 July
1994 we plan to recycle or discard tapes that have a date on them prior
to 1990. No warnings of any kind will be issued. If visitors or prior
NOAO staff members have tapes that may be dated earlier than 1990 and
are concerned about keeping the data, please contact us as soon as
possible.  We have tried in the past to contact as many people about
the old tapes as possible but it has become increasingly time consuming
to do this. And we cannot hold onto these tapes forever. So we have
arbitrarily set these dates to help clean up our computer areas.

If you have any concerns about these policies please contact jbarnes@noao.edu.
