Shared 
concerns about the long-term preservation of cultural heritage materials 
worldwide bring a commonality of purpose to libraries everywhere.  
Preservation professionals have had the opportunity to travel abroad and teach a 
broad range of subjects critical to proper care of library collections.  
The challenge is to find the best solution to problems using locally available 
resources.  Presenters will relate their experiences in developing nations 
and provide practical suggestions for organizing sustainable 
programs.

Anyone with 
an interest in collections care, or who has participated in international 
projects (or plans to!) is sure to find this program both interesting and 
insightful.  We invite you to come share your ideas and experiences in 
discussion with our panelists.
