Collection
Assessment
Preservation issues are entwined in many aspects of
library services and operations. As a whole, the staff
of SULAIR's Preservation Department holds an indepth
knowledge on a wide range of topics which are immediately
relevant to the services offered and the materials made
available to the Stanford community by other SULAIR
units and programs. We offer collection assessment and
consultation services to our colleagues who have questions,
no matter how general or specific, about library and
archives materials and their preservation.
Bulk
collections and individual items alike may be reviewed
by Preservation staff. We will conduct collection assessments
prior to the acquisition of the materials, upon their
acquisition and as they are processed, or when they
are being reclassified to become part of another SULAIR
collection. We also consult on special projects involving
preservation matters, such as grant-funded projects
and initiatives.
Please
contact Laura Cameron,
Head of Binding & Finishing, for questions related
to the assessment of paper-based materials in the general
collections. In the case of bulk collections of printed
materials, see also the SULAIR Bulk
Collections Policy and Procedures.
For
questions related to the assessment of paper-based special
collections materials, please contact Maria
Grandinette, Head of Conservation & Book Repair.
For
questions related to the assessment of media materials,
please contact Maria
Grandinette, Interim Head of Media Preservation.
