[ICA-EGAD-RiC] Princeton University Library RBSC response to RiC

[Mark A. Matienzo]

Dear Faith -

It appears that the attachment was not included in your message, which I've
noticed in a few other messages to this list. Could you provide a link to a
web-accessbile version of Princeton's comments or send me a copy separately?

Best,
Mark
