2. Participants will be able to develop a small, in-house book repair program and provide necessary training for other library staff to perform basic book repair techniques.
Program Description:
Law
collections pose
some unique problems in terms of their physical care due to filing and
updating
practices, use patterns and special binding structures such as
loose-leafs and
pocket parts. This workshop is designed to address specific
preservation needs
of law collections through lecture, demonstration and hands-on
opportunities. Participants will learn
the fundamentals of book repair, treatment options and decision-making,
and
preservation best practices. Emphasis
will be placed on moving knowledge into practice through guidelines for
establishing institution appropriate in-house book repair programs, by
training
the trainers in basic book repair techniques and providing all
participants
with a start-up tool kit.
Although
this program
has been designed with law libraries in mind, the concepts and
techniques are
applicable to general library collections as well.
