With the total store of information doubling every eight years, the search for compact, inexpensive, and secure data storage methods has become a managerial priority. Consider this: microfilm can store up to 100 million bits of data per dollar. Computer-assisted access time is down to seconds.

Recent information on tax (IRS) and legal considerations is also featured.
