When materials aren't available due to deterioration, missing pages, disconnected covers, or other problems, it can be frustrating for users and librarians alike. The answer is to provide appropriate care for the collection from the outset, while also guiding staff on making needed repairs. In Preservation and Conservation, two experts show library administrators and decision makers optimal collection preservation techniques, what it takes to set up a conservation work area, and safe ways to mount a small exhibit. In between, those responsible for repairs will find easily learned, illustrated, step-by-step instructions to repair and conserve books and documents. Appendixes include care of photographs as well as lists of suppliers, and additional resources. Using this comprehensive answer book, users will learn to: Extend the shelf life of collections with proper environment and housekeeping; Understand priorities and recover after disasters, fire, flood, mold and more; Explain "handling basics" to customers to reduce document harm; Repair books and documents using field-tested methods; Identify optimal storage for fragile or odd-sized pieces. For any library, archive, or historical society committed to getting materials back into circulation as quickly as possible, this reference offers a one-stop solution. From the issues relevant to directors to hands-on instructions for technicians, it’s an excellent reference for the entire library. - Publisher.
