CMDS/PARS discussion group at ALA

The CMDS/PARS joint discussion group will meet at ALA Midwinter on
Sunday February 16 at 9-10:30 in the McPherson Square Room of the
Crown Plaza. Brian Baird and Rich Ring (University of Kansas) will
lead the discussion on cooperative preservation microfilming.
Following on the success of BRITTLE, a national cooperative effort
for securing preservation quality photocopy replacements for
embrittled volumes at a reduced price, CMDS/PARS will hold a
discussion to look at ways research libraries can work cooperatively
on preservation microfilming and digitizing projects.  The goals
should be to significantly reduce costs, save staff time and
eliminate redundancy of efforts among the participating libraries.
