The Oregon Library Association Support Staff Division (OLA/SSD) 
announces an Intermediate Book Repair Techniques workshop to be held on 
Friday, September 16, 2005, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at Clackamas 
Community College in Oregon City, OR.

The instructors for the workshop are Carolee Harrison and Kris Kern, 
both of Portland State University. Carolee Harrison has worked in 
library technical services for over 16 years, and as a book mender for 
10 years. Kris Kern has worked as a cataloger at PSU for over 24 years 
and has served as PSU's preservation librarian for the last 7 years. 
Carolee and Kris have given numerous presentations on collections care 
and book repair at various conferences and libraries around Oregon, and 
they have conducted many previous book repair workshops for SSD. 
Following is a message from Carolee regarding the content of the workshop:

"Participants from 'Basic Book Repair' workshops are welcome to attend 
the next phase, 'Intermediate Book Repair.' This workshop will build 
upon the procedures covered previously (hinge repairs, rebacking) as 
well as introduce some more challenging but frequently needed mends: the 
"hollow tube" spine repair and endsheet/super replacement (recasing). As 
always, participants are asked to bring damaged books from their own 
collections to work on during the class. Please bring at least one 
especially challenging job you'd like to finish, so that we may solve 
problems together and learn from one another as we work. We will also 
discuss how to raise awareness of conservation of library materials 
among staff and users, in the hopes of reducing the amount of damage 
done. Participants are expected to have attended the previous workshop 
or to have some experience in book mending (those who have not attended 
"Basic Book Repair" are asked to contact the instructor before 
registering). Please bring your own tools (metal ruler, exacto knife, 
glue brush, bone folder, scissors, knitting needle, pencil, 
microspatula, and anything else you regularly use). Paper, cloth, 
adhesive, and cutting surfaces will be provided. "

The workshop will be held at the Marshall N. Dana Library, located on 
the Clackamas Community College campus in the Dye Learning Center 
(Building #13). Parking is freely available on campus and does not 
require a permit. Driving directions will be sent to workshop registrants.

The cost to attend the workshop is $45 for Oregon Library Association 
Support Staff Division members and $55 for non-members. The Support 
Staff Division offers scholarships for this and other continuing 
education opportunities. For more information, please see:

the past, please send your name, institution, email address or telephone 
number, to Kay Brooks or Sonja Patzer at Portland State University. We 
will then hold a place for you and send you a registration form,
