PRESERVATION OF BOOKS

Dear LIS forum Members What are the feasible methods for preservation of books from the attack of termites and other insects in libraries? Are there any pesticides that can be used exclusively in libraries? Friends please open up.

you can place nahthalene balls in the stack area. Close all the windows etc for a day or two. This will kill all the insects another approach is spraying or placing neem leaves on the racks Chudamani On Tue, 28 Oct 2008, Rafi sm wrote:
