We are doing the same procedure described in Susan's response. Using two pouches and adding the spine weld allows us to use the covers without causing any stress to the binding or textblock.

A note on the process of using CoLibri rather than the composition of the pouches. We have developed a gentle procedure here at the University of Iowa Libraries to place CoLibri covers on Special Collections books. We take two pouches, weld each to custom size before they are placed on the book, then slip one on the front cover, one on the back cover, and join the two with a welded seam at the (back cover) spine. It is necessary to open the book's covers only enough to slip the sized pouch over each cover and dust jacket (if available).

The problem that I have with Colibri is that getting it on books is
often a brutal process that places unnatural stresses on the bindings,
especially at the joints. I would never use it for any special
collections materials... We don't use it here at Syracuse, but did have
a vendor stop by for a demo using some of our materials...
