Preservation Week

This year, April 24-30, 2011 will mark the second annual
Preservation Week. Last year's Preservation Week was a great success
with over 68 known academic, public, and special libraries
participating in preservation activities by offering lectures,
providing workshops, and participating in two ALCTS Preservation
Week sponsored webinars.
