Selecting Rare Books for Physical Conservation: Guidelines for Decision Making	1985	7	.pdf	application/pdf	4222	308	61	Although any consideration of book conservation by librarians generally focuses on the technical aspects of diagno- sis and treatment, another level of deci- sion making is usually required: in a time when severely curtailed budgets are the norm, librarians, curators, and conserva- tors are forced to select for treatment only a few of the many potential candidates in a collection. This article discusses the rationale for, and possible uses of, guidelines designed to facilitate conservation decisions by systematically evaluating and weighing such factors as monetary, intellectual, and aesthetic value, projected use, and usability. eciding which books in a library collection should receive con- servation treatment is rarely simple.	cache/crl-14094.pdf	txt/crl-14094.txt
