  • The Preservation Program Blueprint. Frontiers of Access to Library Materials, No. 6. Higginbotham, Barbra Buckner Wild, Judith W. Library Collection Development Library Development Library Materials Library Networks Library Personnel Library Services Library Technical Processes Preservation Program Development A complete guide to developing a library-wide preservation program, this book can help library staff to map out a system that is both preventative and curative. By decentralizing preservation activities and integrating them into ongoing library functions, libraries can preserve materials effectively, efficiently, and with buy-in from staff. The book's strategies can be applied to: creating an "around-the-building" approach to preservation; implementing preventative "on-the-job" techniques; and identifying "who-does-what," by following the functional listing in the table of contents. Chapters include: "The Library Director"; "The Library Building Manager"; "Collection Development and Acquisitions"; "Circulation and Stack Maintenance"; "Binding, Repair, and Reformatting";"Cataloging and Materials Processing"; "Access Services"; "Interlibrary Loan"; "Reference and Information Services"; "Special Collections and Archival Materials"; "Microforms, Sound Recordings, Video Formats, and New Media"; and "Library Systems." A Resource Guide and Bibliography is provided. Includes an index. (AEF)
