Preservation Management Institute

Rutgers University SCILS will be sponsoring its biennial
Preservation Management Institute beginning in Fall 2002.

The Institute is designed for working librarians and archivists who
have preservation responsibilities but little formal preservation
education.  The program involves a full week of classes in New
Jersey in fall 2002, another week in spring 2003, and a final week
in fall 2003.  The week-long sessions include classroom instruction
with a lead instructor and expert guest speakers, some hands-on
experiences, and three field trips.  Between the three weeks of
classes participants conduct guided preservation planning activities
for their home institutions (or we can match you up with an
institution), including conducting a preservation survey and
drafting a disaster plan.

We have had participants from around the country participate in this
program during the last two Institutes.  They have given the program
extremely high ratings.

Enrollment in the Institute will be limited.  For details about the
program and a registration form, go to
