Recent developments in the field of preservation have been rapid and radical. It is now seen as a key element in collection management strategy in libraries of all kinds. An introduction covers definitions of terms on preservation, conservation and restoration, and the physical and chemical basis of library materials. The book discusses the effect of major collections in the UK and USA on the development of preservation policies. Also discussed are environmental conditions in which materials should be stored; surveying collections and defining objectives and methods for preservation; being prepared for disasters; general principles of collection management and the place of preservation within them; awareness training for staff and relevant aspects of user education. The development of national and international policies and the special problems of tropical and sub-tropical countries are also considered. This book will be useful not only to students in whose courses preservation is now receiving some emphasis, but also to professionals who are aware of the growing importance in this field.
