There are still places available on the one-day course 'Writing and
using a preservation policy' at the British Library on Wednesday 4
November 2015: A preservation policy provides the opportunity for an
organisation to structure a framework for thinking about the
long-term impacts of collections management.  This training day on
preservation policies explains the purpose and benefits of a
preservation policy, provides guidance on writing a policy for your
organisation and gives examples of how policies are used by a number
of different organisations.  By the end of the day, participants
will be able to:

    Analyse how best to establish preservation as a key objective of
    the organisation

    Explain what a preservation policy is and how it links to other
    strategic and business planning documents

    Identify what needs to be included in a preservation policy and
    why

    Describe issues that need to be considered when implementing a
    preservation policy

    Create an action plan for writing or reviewing their own
    organisation's preservation policy

The day is led by preservation and collections management consultant
Jonathan Rhys-Lewis (ACR) and costs UKP128.
