[PADG:1165] RE: library schools

["Fox, Lisa" <Foxl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patricia, are you aware of the ALCTS publication that lists all the library
schools that offer preservation/conservation courses?  I know it's a little
out of date (1995), but it might help.  The current edition is available on
the web at http://www.ala.org/alcts/publications/presed.html.

Hello,

Does anyone know of a listing or survey of the percentage of library 
schools that offer classes in preservation, and which ones they are? Also, 
what percentage of the graduates have taken such classes? I'm interested in 
finding out the likelihood of recent graduates' exposure to preservation 
classes. I assume it's much higher than in the past, say, 20 years ago, but 
I may be wrong. Just because the courses are offered, it doesn't 
necessarily follow that students will take them.

I appreciate all leads.
