CASLIN Preservation goal: to maintain the collections in serviceable condition for as long as needed, and as cost-effectively as possible.
CASLIN Condition Surveys u determine scope and scale of problems
CASLIN Needs Assessment u determines scope and scale of problems u recommends solutions u sets priorities for action u targets finite resources to highest priorities u promotes multi-institutional cooperation
CASLIN Calipr u software program for automated needs assessment u u uses a random sample from the collection with built-in random number generator u 13 questions per sample item u automatically calculates 1) problems, 2) solutions, 3) priorities, and 4) reports
CASLIN Housing conditions: 3. fire protection? 4. disaster response plan? 5. good stack conditions? Demand for access: 1. missing? 2. used in past x years? Physical condition: 6. missing parts or pages? 7. broken into pieces, but all there? 8. deteriorated text or images? 9. uncopyable text or images? Institutional value: 10. probably only copy? 11. artifact value? 12. comprehensive collection? 13. would replace, if necessary? Survey questions
