ABSTRACT
Preservation and conservation have become vital issues in libraries. Two perspectives on these issues were presented at this workshop. Fran Wilkinson spoke about the new roles in function and staff training in the library bindery unit based on a survey of 108 ARL libraries. Jack Fairfield discussed the goals and objectives of commercial binders in the preservation of library materials. Each emphasized that libraries and commercial binders are becoming more aware of the importance of this critical step in conservation and preservation of books, serials, and other paper documents for future use by scholars.
