This final report is a product of a comprehensive 14-month Preservation Planning Program (PPP) self-study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Libraries, working with the Association of Research Libraries' (ARL) Office of Management Studies. The PPP is designed to put self-help tools into the hands of library staff responsible for developing plans and procedures for preserving library materials. A study team of six librarians carried out the study, and an additional 29 staff members participated in gathering and analyzing data for this study, which was intended to develop a 5-year preservation plan. Recommendations for five major areas are presented in this report: Collections Conditions; Environmental Conditions; Organization and Procedures; Resources/Instruction; and Disaster Planning. These recommendations focus on improving the environmental conditions of book storage, extending the capacity to repair and reformat damaged books, developing education/awareness programs for staff and users, and increasing preservation resources. Appended are the charges to the study team and to the task forces responsible for the five particular areas of concern, and a list of documents produced by the study. (CGD)
