Subject: Dust jackets?

In our library book dust jackets are discarded. As you all know, these
jackets may contain valuable information about the authors or their works, 
not yet available anywhere else. Since laminating dust jackets is labor 
intensive and costly, is there an economical way to maintain the content?
Some libraries cut the needed section from the dust jacket and paste it
inside the cover, opposite the half-title. 

Thanks.
