Webinar on disaster planning for high density storage

ALCTS webinar

"Preparing for the Worst: Disaster Planning for High Density
    Storage"
February 22, 2012

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description: While disaster planning in libraries is well
established, very few libraries have plans specific to the
challenging environment of high-density storage. Simple activities
such as removal and tracking of materials become more complicated by
barcoded storage trays on 30+ foot high shelves. This program will
focus on current disaster research ranging from fire protection and
recovery to perspectives on recovery from water and fire related
disasters.

Learning Outcomes: This webinar will present new research and
developments in disaster response in library high density storage
facilities; facilitate discussion and collaboration between
institutions; and allow attendees to share different viewpoints,
concerns and experiences.

Who Should Attend? This webinar will be of interest to library staff
and administrators whose institutions currently have, or are
considering construction of, high-density library storage
facilities.
