	abstract = {This document is a general introduction to the care and handling of library material for individuals and institutions with little or no preservation knowledge. It does not provide a comprehensive list of detailed methods and practices, but gives basic information to assist libraries in establishing a responsible attitude to looking after their collections. The threats to collections are often known, but librarians frequently do not proclaim sufficiently loudly the consequences of ignoring the dangers. {\textquoteleft}IFLA Principles for the Care and Handling of Library Materials{\textquoteright} is therefore designed to encourage those responsible to face up to these consequences and, together with scientific and technical experts, to formulate a positive policy for the future of the material in their collections. Primarily, this publication sets out to: 

- expose the vulnerability of library material 
- advance knowledge about the permanence and durability of library material w encourage proper care and handling of library material 
- aid library staff in their search for solutions to preservation problems 
- encourage clear lines of communication among library managers, buildings managers, and preservation and library staff so that all concerned work towards preserving the library{\textquoteright}s holdings.
