Mass-Deacidification: Where It Fits In with Reformatting

When I was asked to write an article about how mass-deacidification fits into a library's preservation program, to reflect particularly on the relationship of deacidification to reformatting decisions (which today I assume means using digital technology), I thought that this would either be a very short article or possibly a confusing one. I will leave it to the reader to make their final judgment, but I do want to state at the outset that I will not be arguing that a choice must be made to either deacidify or reformat collections. My assumption is that using the most appropriate preservation option does not preclude choosing to both deacidify and to reformat the same item.
