Tyra:
 
The Library Binding Institute promotes the 
preservation of the printed word. Its member companies bind and rebind paper 
materials for their livings.
 
We publish a quarterly newsletter called The New 
Library Scene that contains short articles about library binding and 
preservation.
 
If you like, I could mail you several copies I 
think would be of interest.  If you were able to use them, great.  If 
not, heck, they are educational anyways!

  Subject: [PADG:2019] Suddenly Seeking 
  Substance
  Here's a fun question (at least I think the answers 
  could be fun for everyone):I have a list of preservation readings that I 
  generally recommend for different circumstances.  Now, though, I'm 
  seeking the best readings I can find for a special use.   Here's the 
  background:Seeking:  a couple of great but short readings 
  (7 or 8 pages total, taken together).  These can come from anywhere, as 
  long as they do the job:  Audience: Northwestern 
  University Library, Board of Governors who will participate in small group 
  discussion about preservation this June.  Two topics:  
  (also could be one reading that covers both topics):  1) 
  Preservation---overview, issues, trends---the state of preservation 
  today   2) Digital and preservation (why, what, issues, 
  challenges, trends).Goal:  Introduce the subject(s) (maybe 
  include: goals, challenges issues and trends).  1) be readable, 2) 
  understandable and  3) interesting and moving 4) stimulate active 
  interest in preservation.   The readings are my one crack at 
  influencing this discussion.  I will not be present during the 
  exercise.  I have been asked to recommend one or two readings for a 
  packet, to be mailed in advance---for Board members to prepare for the meeting 
  and discussion.  Preservation is one of maybe two or so topics that will 
  be discussed by one small working-group.  I'd like their discussion to be 
  made more productive by the quality of the readings they receive.  
  Can you recommend some readings that will be understandable to a 
  well-educated library board who are not librarians themselves.  I want to 
  engage their minds and capture their hearts---that's all.  What 
  are some of your favorites?Tyra GrantHead, Preservation
