Note regarding pricing and user reproduction of WERC publications: WERC produces publications to enhance the understanding of the statutes it administers by persons covered by those laws and by taxpayers, students and the public at large. Accordingly, publicatons are priced both to maximize the distribution of the information in usable forms and to recoup at least a reasonable portion of the publishing costs. Purchasers of WERC publications are free to reproduce them (electronically or otherwise) for multiple use within the purchasing organization. WERC expects only that purchasers' reproductions of its publications will not be either systematically distributed to persons outside the purchasing organization or offered for sale.

Note regarding PDF searchability: Where PDF image + hidden text files are specified, the PDF files referred to in this catalog are scanned and optical character recognized by machine only. Accordingly, while the images are entirely consistent with the scanned original, the file sizes are substantially larger than text-only files and the searchable hidden text may contain uncorrected recognition errors that can reduce search reliability.

*Prices for paper copies of individual decisions/awards are as follows:

-If pre-printed: 1.50 per document, plus tax and postage (more for extremely long documents)

-If photocopied: $.15 per page, plus tax and postage

-If faxed: add $5.00 per document, plus tax.

** Prices for e-mailed copies of individual decisions/awards are as follows:

-$2.00 per document regardless of length, plus tax.

***Municipal and State sector decisions digests covering periods subsequent to those covered by WERC-published digests are available in paper and CD-ROM forms from the Wisconsin Association of School Boards in Madison.

**** Wisconsin Statutes are available in paper, CD-ROM and internet forms from the State of Wisconsin Revisor of Stautes in Madison.
