ALCTS recently presented a Book Repair Basics for Libraries webinar. A PDF of the information presented has been made available and is worth a look. It covers:

‘…several types of basic repairs for bound circulating collections materials in school, public, and academic libraries. Tip-ins and basic page repairs, hinge tightening, and a variety of spine repairs are covered. Techniques are illustrated and demonstrated with text, images, and video. Links to other resources are provided. Repairs and conservation treatments on rare and special collections materials are NOT discussed.”
