Practitioners of general and/or special collections book conservation or repair in research libraries are encouraged to participate in an anonymous, online survey located at
http://conservation.survey.sgizmo.com.
The survey is part of a research project to document and analyze current book treatment practices and trends in research libraries worldwide. It should take no more than 10-20 minutes to complete and is intended for the individual(s) with primary responsibility for book conservation and/or repair. Institutions with multiple conservation/repair units may respond either once for the entire institution or individually for each unit, whichever is easiest.
The results of our research will be shared widely. The survey will remain open until September 30, 2007; your participation is greatly appreciated.
