ALCTS webinar: Book Repair Basics for Libraries
(Important! Please note the change in webinar length and registration
information below)
Date: September 14, 2011
This webinar is intended to be 90 minutes in length and will begin at
11am Pacific, Noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Participants will become familiar with several types of
basic repairs for bound circulating collections materials in school,
public, and academic libraries. Tip-ins and basic page repairs, hinge
tightening, and a variety of spine repairs will be covered. Techniques
will be illustrated and demonstrated with text, images, and video. Links
to other resources will be provided.
Repairs and conservation treatments on rare and special collections
materials will NOT be discussed.
Audience: Individuals with little (some preferred) book repair
experience will benefit. More experienced attendees will receive helpful
hints.
Presenters:
Peter D. Verheyen is Head of Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse
University. After beginning as work-study in preservation under John
Dean at Johns Hopkins where he repaired and rehoused circulating
collections, he studied binding and conservation in Germany and
Switzerland to become a rare book conservator working in private
practice and research library preservation programs. He established the
conservation lab at Syracuse for the treatment of special collections
materials, and developed a high-density system for storing architectural
drawings. In response to a need for efficient rehousing in anticipation
of off-site storage he introduced Syracuse to the shrink-wrapping of
volumes. He presented Archival 101 as an ALCTS webinar during
Preservation Week 2010.
Marianne Hanley is Assistant Conservator in the Department of
Preservation and Conservation at Syracuse University Library. Her
responsibilities include managing the repair and rehousing of our
circulating collections, including the training of work-study students.
In addition she is training in bookbinding and aspects of book
conservation with conservators David Stokoe and Peter Verheyen. She also
presents regularly on disaster preparedness as part of departmental
staff training and outreach activities. Because Marianne has worked in
both the public and private sectors of libraries, she is collaborating
in the development of a basic book repair program that will benefit many
different institutions and varying types of skill levels.
