certified library bindery
A bookbinding establishment in the United States
or Canada that specializes in library binding and
meets the minimum specifications of the Library
Binding Institute, as outlined in the CERTIFICATION PLAN .
A certified library binder is defined as one who
produces binding which will achieve two
objectives: 1) meet the requirements of libraries
for an end product capable of withstanding the
rigors of normal library circulation or use; and
2) provide maximum reader usability. A certified
library binder is required to warrant that the
binding covered by his invoice is Library Binding
and complies with all requirements of the Library
Binding Institute Standards for Library Binding,
except as noted in the invoice. Certified library
binders are also required to adhere to the Trade
Practice Regulation for the Library Binding
Industry, maintain compulsory insurance to protect
the customer's property in their custody, and
participate in the industry quality control
program. (131 , 208 )
