Turn of the Century
Turn of the Century
Technology became increasingly important as the 20th Century was coming to a close. Bound to Stay Bound carefully upgraded and replaced printing and binding equipment used since the first half of the century, while maintaining an ongoing commitment to a quality product. Outreach to library customers expanded with the creation of the Library Corner newsletter in 1985.
In 1992, Robert L. Sibert took over as President of the company, with Robert F. Sibert remaining as Chairman. New technological innovations continued as the printed catalog of titles offered by Bound to Stay Bound was first replicated in 1994 onto a bi-annual CD-ROM and later into the company Bookstore on its web site, www.btsb.com. Also, outreach to customers has gradually increased over the years with expansion of the national sales force from six men in 1984 to its current number of fifteen men and women.
LBI continues to oversee binding standards and the latest specifications were developed in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1997 with Robert L. Sibert participating on the committee.
Robert F. Sibert died in 1998 and, soon after, Bound to Stay Bound began working with the American Library Association to create the ALSC/Robert F. Sibert Information Book Award in his memory. The award was established in 2001.
