The Corning Museum of Glass library sustained extraordinary damage when flooded by waters from an adjacent river. All of the library's damaged collection was frozen. The problems associated with the logistics in thawing frozen catalogs, journals, and books for identifying them as well as for recording the type of damage which would necessitate restoration was immense. The use of dielectric heaters for thawing solved this problem. Only limited use of this process, however, was possible for completely drying books. See also AATA 15-389.
