Dean William Crowe established the Preservation Task Force in August, 1995, with the following membership: Brian Baird (Chair), Milissa Boyer, Judith Emde, Nancy Jaeger, Jana Krentz, and Brad Schaffner. He charged the task force to plan and conduct multiple surveys of the physical condition of the collections in the libraries on the Lawrence campus (except the Law Library and the Spencer Research Library).
The condition surveys were conducted in two segments. One segment focused on materials returning from circulation, in which a random sample of 495 volumes was surveyed from returns to Watson and the branch libraries. The second segment focused on general collections materials from the stacks, in which 3,679 volumes, selected randomly, were surveyed in Watson and the branch libraries. All survey information was entered directly into a computer database.
