Author : A.Mangayarkarasi and R.SarangapaniVolume 7 No.1 January-June 2017 pp 20-22
Abstract
A survey using a structured questionnaire was adopted to study preservation and conservation practice in academic libraries in Coimbatore. The study revealed that there was no written policy on preservation and conservation in nearly all libraries. In addition to the lack of written preservation policy, the lack of trained manpower and lack of funding were the main constraints for preservation and conservation practices. Higher authorities and policy makers need to be initiated inn of staff and budget not just for preservation, but seemingly for the long term survival of libraries.
