Scope: Staff of Library Technical Services and the Department of Preservation and Collection Maintenance regularly handle books that are damaged and deteriorated. The following describes the general procedures for processing these items, identified either at the point of use, or on entering the acquisitions workflow in Olin LTS. Damaged/deteriorated books are those that have obvious damage to the binding (torn spine, loose boards, detached leaves, etc.) and that also have paper that will not withstand a double corner fold. Books with intact hardcover bindings, irrespective of paper condition, are not covered by this procedure.
