6. Your
additional comments are most welcome ... 1 Establish a
professional library of preservation and conservation publications and
resources (available for borrowing/consultation). This could include
videotapes and other AV materials. Back up this collection with a Web page
with full-text of guides/handouts and links to useful sites. 2 I'm a bit
unclear as to interpretation of #3 (not important) and #4 (do not include in
regional facility). If one selects #3 not important presumably one would not
likely use; don't know if #4 means it should not be included even for others
to use. When I checked 4 I meant it should not be included at all. A 3 would
mean unlikely use by GFU. 4 The survey
is a good start at collecting information, but we would need to have a
thorough discussion of these ideas before we made any program decisions. The
responses are apt to be theoretical, and not necessarily respresent the
library's intent to use these services if they were available. For example, a
certified conservator sounds good, but in reality, the UO has made use of
these services on a very limited basis. A follow-up survey could ask more
direct questions such as: "To what extent are you currently supporting
an in-house book repair program?" or "What portion of your existing
collections might be appropriate for a mass deaccidification program?"
Also, I'm not seeing the training aspects has having any connection to a
RLSC. 7. Submitted
