an overview of bindery operations, with a look at leaf attachment
methods; discussion of materials and technical terms used by binders;
guidelines for cost-effectively upgrading your binding program; and an
overview of contracts and vendor relations. There will be a
decision-making practicum using sample materials, a 1989 video - Library
Binding: A Shared Responsibility, A Collaborative Effort - developed by
a team of librarians and binders, and an exhibit of binding materials
and methods.

The class is designed for heads of technical services, serials, and/or
