| Abstract: | Summaries. Collections conservation should view the role it plays in the library in terms of how it helps the library reach its primary goals of providing storage and access to information. The goals and objectives presented here are intended to help collections conservation increase access to library material; increase the quality of the treatments performed; increase production; and increase the visibility of collections conservation in the library and nationally. The goals and objectives are mostly qualitative in nature, and all of the goals and objectives relate closely together. The rationale for these goals and objectives is that research library material deserves high quality, conservationally sound treatments; that these treatments should be performed as quickly as possible; and that effective communication should be established between collections conservation and the rest of the library. Reaching these goals will help collections conservation become a vital part of the library in which it operates. |
