[PADG:929] Sibley Music Preservation Course

[Alice Carli <apma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sibley Music Library,  a department of the Eastman School of Music in
Rochester, New York, is offering its annual Music Binding and
Preservation workshop July 10-14, 2000. The workshop comprises a basic
hands-on introduction to the binding and conservation practices needed
for library circulation of music, a tour of Sibley?s brittle music
preservation (replacement/reformat) program, and one or more special
sessions covering particular student interests that year. The primary
target audience is  music librarians who have, or are about to have,
conservation responsibilities, but also includes library conservation
staff interested in the specific needs of music, and others with special
interest in music score preservation. Enrollment is limited to 8
students and the curriculum is tailored each year to address the
particular backgrounds and needs of the class. Topics covered may
include:
 - pamphlet binding of new sheet music
 - paper conservation
 - hard-cover binding repair and adhesive binding
 - phase boxes and portfolio binders
 - what to look/ask for from commercial binders for scores
 - conservation supplies and suppliers
 - in-house photocopy preparation
 - overview of microfilm preservation and digital access
 - overview of conservation of recordings

 The course can be taken either for credit (1 credit, $730 CRN 13253) or
non-credit ($365 CRN 13241). The tuition does not include room and
board, which is available in the student dormitory as a separate
package, or you can stay elsewhere (though the dormitory tends to be the
best value). Registration materials can be requested from the Community
Education Division by the following means:
