The growing collections of nonbook materials in archives, museums, and libraries have increasingly shown the need to focus on the preservation problems of these formats. The conference subjects covered in this book address the care and preservation of a wide range of nonbook materials and attempted to accomplish the following five general goals and purposes: 1) to identify issues and problems related to the preservation of nonbook materials; 2) to examine different methods and techniques used in the care and preservation of these materials; 3) to provide perspectives on research activities and future trends in nonbook preservation; 4) to indicate the role of vendors and suppliers in the preservation process; and 5) to suggest ways of utilizing strategic planning in the preservation process. -- CAL -- CAL
