Conservation Program

As part of the Preservation Department, the Conservation Program's mission is to extend the long-term usefulness of the University's library resources. We provide services for both general and special collections materials. Our main responsibilities include:

• Repairing damaged library materials
• Pamphlet binding
• Constructing custom enclosures including a variety of boxes and CoLibri^TM book jackets
• Training library staff and student assistants in the proper care and handling of library materials
• Providing consultation and educational resources on a variety of library conservation issues
