In this discussion of architectural drawings and mad bombers we need to remember that there is a difference between denying access and refusing to reproduce copies. In practice under the FOIA if you can't see an original someone has to make a copy for reference, but nowhere that I have seen does it imply that you are entitled by statue to copies "to keep for your very own." I have to side with those being a little leery of making copies on demand. If I have to require patrons to bring in a letter allowing them access or reproduction to a literary collection why cannot I require someone else to bring in a letter permitting copying to an existing structure? In both cases I just wish there weren't "other issues" to worry about. Richard Saunders [log in to unmask] Montana State Univ.--Bozeman [log in to unmask]
