Quick Tips
|
|
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
|
| Do Not - enter an area until it has been declared safe. |
|
Do Not - attempt to open a wet book (one tear costs at least one dollar to mend.)
|
| Do Not - attempt to close an open book that is swollen. |
| Do Not - use mechanical presses on wet materials. |
| Do Not - attempt to separate books that are stuck together. |
|
Do Not - use bleaches, detergents, water-soluble fungicides, adhesive tapes (or adhesives of any kind), paper clips, or staples on wet materials.
|
|
Do Not - use colored paper of any kind during salvage and recovery operations.
|
|
Do Not - pack newly-dried materials in boxes or leave them unattended for more than two days.
|
| Do Not - place saturated materials next to lightly damaged materials. |
| Do Not - remove covers from books or scores. |
|
SALVAGE PRIORITIES
|
|
Salvage priorities should be based on criteria such as the following
|
|
Can the item be replaced? At what cost? Would the cost of the
item be more or less than restoration? How important is the item to the
collection? Is the item available at another library?
|
|
Highest priorities would be bibliographic controls, expensive or unique
reference materials, the art collection, and computers.
|
|
Assistant Library Directors are asked to review priorities every two years, or
at times of changes in the collection such as shelving shifts.
