[PADG:1882] Preservation Ergonomics Questions?

[Tom Teper <tteper@xxxxxxxx>]

Over the past two ALA meetings, questions about ergonomics and work spaces 
have come up in at least two meetings that I have attended. With that and 
PARS DG's efforts to reach outside of the normal PARS retinue, I have 
contacted someone involved in LAMA that specializes in library renovation 
and management - more specifically, workspace design and occupational safety.

In preparation for the meeting in Philly, she would like to know if 
individuals have any particular questions. For example, are we interested 
in ergonomic issues with workstation and workbench design, repetitive 
motion problems, or both? Specific questions are as good as those that are 
more generalized, but she would like to know how to best target her 
preparation.

Please reply directly to me, and I will pass the questions on to her.

Thanks,

Tom Teper
