    Music Binding Symposium
    (2024-04-16) Coulbourne, Mark; Norman, Kim; Carli, Alice; Quintilian, Steve; Foley, Michael; Shirts, Peter; Risseeuw, Katherine
    On April 16th the ALA/Core Preservation Administrators Interest Group and the Music Library Association Preservation Committee met for an online symposium on the binding, preservation and care of music scores. We have the list of panel presenters below, and we discussed why we bind music scores, binding decision trees, formats and treatments (with examples), budgets and advocacy, as well as the latest news on commercial binding. There was time for Q&A along with numerous examples of music scores. Presenters included: Alice Carli - University of Rochester Michael Foley - University of California, Berkeley Dan Lopata - University of Rochester Steve Quintilian - University of Maryland, College Park Katie Risseeuw - Northwestern University Peter Shirts - Emory University

    2022 ALA-CORE National Binding Survey Report
    (2023-02-07) Doyle, Beth; Coulbourne, Mark; Brim, Richenda; Ellenburg-Kimmet, Joyce; Chapman, Joyce
    The American Library Association (ALA) Core Preservation Administration Interest Group (PAIG) held a Symposium on the Future of Library Binding in 2022. Following the symposium, the ALA Core Library Binding Practices Survey Team (hereafter, “Team”) was convened to explore issues that arose during the symposium. The Team members volunteered to create a survey on current library binding practices to gain a better understanding of who is using library binding as a preservation and access method, how they are using such services, and the challenges that face the community.

    Preparing and Digitizing Brittle 19th and 20th Century Newspapers
    (Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, 2022-05) Coulbourne, Mark; Pike, Robin; Draper, Bryan
    Digitizing brittle paper can be a difficult task that may cause tears and fractures, even when the material is carefully handled. Brittle paper in many formats can be found in archival collections. Bound newspapers in large, unwieldly, and deteriorating bindings pose a challenge for digitization by their size and number of pages. When charged with preparing late 19th- and early 20th-century brittle newspapers for digitization, the University of Maryland (UMD) Libraries developed a new process that serves as an effective, time- and budget-conscious approach to stabilizing brittle paper while preparing it for digitization. Those tasked with preservation and digitization can use a minimal amount of archival-quality tape, PhotoTex™ paper, and polyester folders, to enable extremely brittle newspaper to withstand the turns, flips, and movements required for optimal digital capture. Project staff can then select appropriate digitization and digital preservation standards available through their institution or partnerships to ensure a one-time digitization process, ideally using an overhead digitization setup to facilitate minimal pressure on the brittle pages. Lastly, the repository can store stabilized original newspapers in perpetuity in an organized and space efficient manner.
