Library Binding Discussion Group program at ALA meeting in Atlanta

The Library Binding Discussion Group will meet on Saturday June 29th
from 2:00- 4:00 pm.  The place: Georgia World Conference Center Room
265W.

Our program will include a short (15 min) videotape on the new Ultrabind
double fan adhesive binding machine being developed by Mekatronics.  The
prototype is now being tested.  The machine promises to improve the
quality of fan binding and take a great deal of the labor out of the
process.

The major topic of the meeting will be paper testing.  Mr Roger Van
Eperen, Technical Specialist in the Research Services Division of the
Institute of Paper Science and Technology, will discuss mechanical
specifications for paper used in endsheets and textblocks, with specific
discussion of the ability of mechanical tests to predict the performance
of papers in actual use over long periods of time.

There will be ample time for questions and discussion.

Other discussion topics are welcome, time allowing.  Please email or
call me by June 25th with ideas.
