About the Author:
Brian Baird served as a conservator and preservation librarian at Princeton University and the University of Kansas. He has taught preservation courses at several universities and consulted widely on preservation issues. Brian worked in the private sector for several years providing preservation and library binding services to libraries across the United States before returning to academia at Brigham Young University. He has been active in researching and publishing about preservation issues.
Review:
This compact preservation course can be easily accessed at any time and should be a reference shelf standard for librarians and archivists, particularly those who work in small institutions. (Archival Issues)
Baird speaks to libraries with the voice 25 years of experience. No jargon, no grand theories, just practical options for collections care. A must-read for anyone new to preservation wanting to know what to do to keep materials accessible. (Karen Kiorpes, preservation librarian, University at Albany)
Baird’s Practical Guide is indeed just that, very practical. Clearly and concisely written, Baird’s step-by-step instructions make the tasks doable, and his years of experience in the field are evident in the many constructive words of wisdom he shares. (Joseph Watson, preservation manager, Middlebury College Library)
