Digging Out from Under the Stacks
Face it. Twenty million pieces of paper is a lot of paper.
That’s the estimated amount of paper currently being stored at UNLV, according to electronic document management specialist Craig Topple.
Topple, whose new unit is document imaging and storage services (DISS), says Business Affairs alone is storing around 7 million pieces.
