crl-15099	Thornton, Joyce K.	Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in ARL Libraries	1997	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4564	182	53	He cau- tions that RSI is not to be taken lightly and that CTS is costly, thus prevention is far better and cheaper than the cure.9 In 1990, James M. Kusack surveyed fifty-eight large public libraries to find out whether public library employees were affected with CTS as much as news- paper or telephone company employees were.10 Of the thirty-eight libraries re- sponding to his survey, seventeen re- ported one or more employees with CTS (one of which reported nine cases) and twenty-one said they were unaware of any injured employees in their libraries. A further implication of the study is that other library tasks, including the handling of materials, photocopying, and outside activities may contribute to CTS.	cache/crl-15099.pdf	txt/crl-15099.txt
