- Tom: I think that both workstation setup and repetitive stress ought to be addressed. The topic came up last year in the Library Binding Discussion Group (perhaps that's one of the groups you attended). The main concern voiced in that group was that the tasks of our support staff within our bindery units has changed significantly since we started using automated systems. I know I want to find ways to help educate my own staff and help them make the necessary adjustments to avoid getting hurt on the job. I'm really glad to hear that you're addressing this really important issue! Emily
