Workshop on disaster management

Chaos to Carm: A CAVAL (Cooperative Action by Victorian Academic
Libraries) Disaster Management and Recovery Workshop will be held at
the Caval Archive and Research Materials (CARM) Centre located on
the Research and Development Park of La Trobe University's Bundoora

The workshop will feature a simulated library or archive disaster.

Participants will be led by Jeavons Baillie, and will go into a
disaster site, retrieve wet and burnt books, decide what action
should be taken, set up an air drying process, learn how to compile
a disaster response manual and how to manage disaster recovery
effectively.

The workshop is relevant to staff from all cultural collecting
institutions, including museums and galleries, as well as libraries
and archives.

Attendance is limited to 16.
Cost: $655.00 ($555.00 for participants from CAVAL member
libraries).
