background paper and is ready to begin the second phase of the
* study. Five task forces (Environmental Conditions, Collection

formed to examine various preservation issues as they affect the
Libraries. Each task force, chaired by a member of the study
team, will prepare a report on its topic by October 15.

ries. The planning program is scheduled to end in December.
All task force members will be supplied with a copy of the back- ‘
