Karen, I cannot help with alternate
sources, since the one you mentioned is the one publication we have in the
lab. We do, however, have a unit manual for this position, which outlines
such things as sewing technique, performing repairs, specific stipulations from
the music library, and how to update the library database. I do require that my pamphlet
binding student have musical experience. At the very minimum, my pamphlet
binding student needs to be able to read music and be able to tell the
difference between a score and a part. My student has to recognize a
score, since he will have to bind the score into the pamphlet and place the
parts into a pocket. It is helpful if he can also read music, since it
will occasionally determine if something is bound or if he will leave the
sheets loose in a pocket and just bind the cover. Hope this helps, Jessica Jessica Phillips Preservation Librarian University of North Texas From: Karen E Brown
[mailto:KEBrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Dear PADG: I am looking for manuals/information on in-house
binding of music scores. I have one reference (Binding and care of printed
music by Alice Carli) but I am looking for others. Also, can anyone comment whether the technician doing the
work would require musical training? Thank you in advance for your ideas – Best, Karen E.K. Brown University at Albany |
