>The ALCTS/PARS/Physical Quality and Treatment Discussion Group will be
>meeting Sunday, 16 June, 2pm-4pm.  Please check your conference materials
>to determine room assignment.
>
>Following up on the training discussion from Midwinter, we will be
>discussing outsourcing collections care and conservation
>treatment.  Factors that might determine the decision to outsource include
>workflow management, i.e., need for speed, available skills among staff,
>comparative costs, and what collection items belong to.  Potential
>outsourcing resources include commercial binderies, private conservators
>and regional conservation centers.
>
>We will also be voting on a new chair(s) for the DG.  Two of our
>colleagues, Heather Caldwell, Preservation Services Librarian at MIT, and
>Beth Doyle, Conservator at Duke University, have indicated a desire to
>co-chair.  I think they would be great, but if anyone else is interested,
>please provide me with your name and information or show up at the DG and
>nominate yourself.
