[Shameless act of self-promotion follows]
I didn't include the law firm case (too specific), but if you want more
information about the Texaco case you can consult my book, "The Law of
Libraries and Archives," published by Scarecrow Press. 284 of your
colleagues have already cataloged the book on WorldCat.
