Production: Creating iPad Titles for pre-existing eTexts
• Titles that were originally created more than 6 months ago may be archived.
• For those titles, they will need to be retrieved from archive which can take a period of time.
• If you have a number of titles that you know you will be going back and requesting iPad views of, feel free to contact me so we can check to see if those titles are still on our ftp.
• If they are no longer on the ftp we can coordinate requesting all of those titles at one time instead of individually.
