[PADG:361] Teaching our Rare Book and Special Collections Staff

[Jennifer Hain Teper <jhain@xxxxxxxx>]

All - 

I will be presenting a short discussion at the upcoming RBMS 
pre-conference in June on the theme "preservation education 
for special collections librarians".  Among other speakers 
speaking on the other perspectives on the same theme, I am 
focussing on in-house education opportunities. (i.e. how can 
special collections librarians better utilize the knowledge 
of their PA or conservator, or know what to ask for in the 
areas of training?  better yet, what do we wish they would 
ask us?)

Although I have a personal perspective here at UIUC, I am 
curious to hear from the list what sort of specialized 
preservation training you may offer your rare book/special 
collections/archives staff or what areas you you would like 
to see more outreach and education develop.

thanks so much!
