Most e.g. old grey lit reports are hard copy only, so obviously go in! Some correspondence folders I've been through have been a mine of information! And lots of HERs have good holdings of APs etc you won't find elsewhere. And most of the actual old HER entries frequently seem to have been written by students, volunteers and god-knows who, half the refs etc are usually wrong, duplicate entries, wrong categories etc (I had an interesting conversation with a HER person before Xmas who wanted to know what I'd found wrong since she'll never get a chance to check most of it!). Have found entire old site archives skulking in boxes in one HER!
Any DBA based purely on emailed HER data shouldn't be accepted - shame a lot of people these days seem to get away with it !
