[Apologies! for this late posting. I was sick over Christmas, asked
Carol if I could post to ACQNET, she said "yes" and then I went off
to ALA. I kind of think this is an acquisitions and cataloging and
also processing question, so please indulge me. I also would like to
know what people think. Thanks - Ed.]

Subject: Do You Keep Dust Jackets on Books?
We are investigating the possibility of keeping dust jackets on all new
books that arrive with them. To gain more practical information on
maintenance and repair issues, we would like to talk with staff in academic
libraries that meet the following three criteria:
1. Keep original dust jackets on hardback books in the circulating
collection
2. Cover each paper dust jacket with a polyester cover
3. Have been doing this for at least 3 years
If your library does all three, please reply to me personally --
ceyler_at_carleton.edu -- NOT to the list. It would also be helpful to
receive the name/email for a contact person who could discuss your
library's experiences with dust jackets. Thanks very much!
