WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT

W-5:  Taking the Law into Your Own Hands:  Establishing an In-house
Book Repair Program
2004 AALL Annual Meeting & Conference-Boston, MA
Saturday, July 10, 2004	8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Location:  Hynes Convention Center, Boston, MA

Target Audience:  Librarians and para-professionals responsible for the
physical care of their library's collections.

Learning Outcomes:
1.	Participants will analyze book structure, typical damage and
treatment options, and make appropriate treatment decisions using both
in-house and outsourcing options.
2.	Participants will be able to develop a small, in-house book
repair program and provide necessary training for other library staff to
perform basic book repair techniques.

Program Description:
Law collections pose some unique problems in terms of their physical
care due to filing and updating practices, use patterns and special
binding structures such as loose-leafs and pocket parts. This workshop
is designed to address specific preservation needs of law collections
through lecture, demonstration and hands-on opportunities.  Participants
will learn the fundamentals of book repair, treatment options and
decision-making, and preservation best practices.  Emphasis will be
placed on moving knowledge into practice through guidelines for
establishing institution appropriate in-house book repair programs, by
training the trainers in basic book repair techniques and providing all
participants with a start-up tool kit.

Although this program has been designed with law libraries in mind, the
concepts and techniques are applicable to general library collections as
well.
