Oral Histories Date and Time:
8/4/2009, 2-4 pm Location: Live
Online As
a tool for recording the lives and viewpoints of both common and uncommon
people, oral histories have become a vital component of collections in cultural
institutions. Unfortunately, librarians, curators, and archivists do not always
have control regarding the format or the quality of the oral histories and
accompanying material that are sent to our institutions. This class will
discuss reformatting and digitization issues as well as appropriate labeling
techniques and more. Hurricane Preparedness Date
and Time: 8/5/2009 with follow-up 8/26 and 9/16 Location:
Live Online This
class provides an opportunity for institutions in hurricane-prone areas to
examine their level of planning and preparedness, specifically hurricane
readiness and response. Having a realistic, functional plan is critical to
successful response and recovery. There are steps that institutions can take
now (regardless of the size of the staff or the annual budget) that can help
guarantee the best possible outcome. Topics will include building preparation,
collection considerations, staff readiness, and what to expect if a hurricane
strikes your institution. For
