When materials are not available owed to deterioration, missing pages, disconnected screens or other problems, it can be frustrating for users and librarians alike. The answer is to provide appropriate care for the collection from the beginning while also guiding staff onward making needed repairs. In Preservation and Conservation, brace experts show library administrators and decision makers optimal collection preservation techniques, what it takes to wager up a conservation work area, and safe ways to rise a small exhibit. In between, those responsible for repairs will find easily learned, illustrated, step-by-step instructions to repair and save books and documents.
