National Bindery, Inc. spoke on ways to preserve library materials while
maintaining, as much as possible, the look and "feel" of the original
item.
Minutes: The minutes of the January 2001 meeting were approved.
Project updates: Andy Spencer reported on the progress of Indiana
University's Letopis' zhurnal'nykh statei project to digitize 20 years of
the letopis. Complications in proofreading the digitized texts have
resulted in slowdowns. It is possible that several years of the letopis
will be mounted on the WWW without proofreading.
Jackie Byrd reported that the online Slavic Librarians Directory is
current for US libraries. Updating of non-US libraries will begin this
summer.
Brad Schaffner announced that Slavic librarians were needed for the
AAU/ARL Global Resources Program. Information can be found at:
