My university uses multi-part forms, some of which contain carbon pap=
er. Usually I just take apart a few of these and use the carbon paper=
 contained therein. One doesn't need full sheets of carbon paper for =
a projectile motion lab, so the small size of the forms is not an iss=
ue.=20

Most office supply stores still carry carbon paper. If not, they can =
special-order it. With larger store chains, you can order carbon pape=
r online. University bookstores tend to be limited in what they stock=
, but they should be able to special-order carbon paper for you. =

But FIRST, talk to your secretaries or administrative assistants, who=
 may have boxes of old carbon paper stashed somewhere among the offic=
e supplies. Since carbon paper is useless to them, but "too good" to =
throw out, they'll often be delighted to give it to you.  A box of 10=
0 sheets can last you 10 years.

Sam's Club offers 100 sheets for $15.50 (plus shipping I expect)
so all is not lost. I think there is a small sewing/embroidery market=
?
