2022 ALA-CORE National Binding Survey: Report of Findings

The American Library Association (ALA) Core Preservation Administration Interest Group (PAIG) held a Symposium on the Future of Library Binding1 in 2022. Following the symposium, the ALA Core Library Binding Practices Survey Team2 (hereafter, “Team”) was convened to explore issues that arose during the symposium. The Team members volunteered to create a survey on current library binding practices to gain a better understanding of who is using library binding as a preservation and access method, how they are using such services, and the challenges that face the community.
