[PADG:145] Disaster Preparedness Workshop From SOLINET



SOLINET, Inc., the Southeastern Library Network, is pleased to announce
our Summer Preservation Workshop (Please excuse cross-posting):

*****************Disaster Preparedness*******************
 
Friday, August 27, 2004 at University of Southern Mississippi, Long
Beach, MS from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm.
 
To prevent unnecessary loss of materials, librarians and archivists must
be prepared to handle both minor incidents and large-scale emergencies.

This one-day workshop is designed for staff members responsible for, or
interested in, organizing and implementing institutional or cooperative
disaster preparedness and response procedures. In addition to in-depth
discussion on the disaster planning process, there will be
demonstrations of salvage techniques, including air-drying books,
packing out wet materials, separating and drying manuscripts, rinsing
books, and drying photographic materials. 
 
Cost is $115 SOLINET members ($105 early bird, $135 late registration),
$155 Non-members ($145 early bird, $175 late registration). Any
institution in Mississippi qualifies for the member rate.

This workshop is funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment
for the Humanities, Division of Preservation and Access.
