[LM_NET] Hit: book repair

[DMickelson <coreys@CHIBARDUN.NET>]

I have compiled the list of responses that I received for advanced book repair. 
Most people suggested checking with a local university that offeres classes in 
library science. Now I know why there are so few qualified  in book repair in my 
area. The closest university that still offers classes is 5 hours away. I am 
checking to see if they have a summer session.
Thanks to everyone that offered there advice and support

Class offered at University of Wisconsin-Madison:

678 Preservation and Conservation of Library and Archives Materials. 3 cr. Basic 
concepts, principles, and approaches to protection and care of library and archives 

material, including nature and structure of paper- and plastic-based materials, 
deterioration, preservation management, disaster prevention, reformatting, and 
repair. Laboratory experience offered. P: LIS 561 & 571 or con reg or cons inst.

Class offered at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

480 Books, Paper, and Their Preservation. 1 cr. U/G. History, theory, and practical 

application of conservation solutions currently practiced by professional 
conservators. Prereq: jr st.


Texas has a Regional Education Service Center that offers seminars on topics such a 

book repair.

VCSU has a   summer class for one credit (I’m not for sure where this is)

Mitinet has classes Mitinet Library Solutions are connected to MARC Wizard. I may 
be wrong, but I thought they or their sister company did book repair workshops. One 

of their contacts is Sandy Kuehnel at 800-824-6272 x. 218.

Kapco will set up sessions to come to your school for training. The contact info is 

on the video.

Set up to be an apprentice with a current book binder. 

Check with the local public library if they have anyone doing book repair. You 
might be able to work with them.


Info on book repair and preservation:
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~preserve/repair/repairindex.htm

There is a book repair class in San Franciso:
book repair classes through Infopeople.org.

I'm working at a small, special library in TN, and yesterday attended a regional 
In-
Service about book 
preservation.

A representative of the Tennesee State Library and Archives came and did a 5 hour 
workshop on the 
various aspects of materials preservation, including book repair.

Demco will send a rep to your school to conduct a book repair workshop
for FREE.

Check the librarians state conference and see if there is anything offered.
