Description
This handbook brings together in a single volume expert contributions on the many aspects of MO data recording, including the materials
in use, techniques for achieving recording function, and storage device subsystems. As a multiple author treatment, it brings perspective
from many viewpoints and institutions. The insights delivered should be valuable to a wide audience from students to practitioners in
all areas of information storage.
Audience
Practitioners and students in all areas of information storage.
