Dear colleagues: From discussions with many of you, I believe that it is
extremely unusual for a Preservation Department to be a part of a disaster from
beginning to end – evacuation, assessment, response, recovery. I decided
that the best way to share this unique learning experience is through the UI
Preservation Department’s blog “Preservation Beat.” Since our lab work is our first priority, the conversion of
our log to blog goes in fits and starts. We may add several entries in one day
and then go several days before adding more. We may discover weeks later that
we missed an entry and post a really old entry. There is a link to many of our PowerPoints and videos. Feel free to make a comment. The comments don’t get
posted until we read them. That means you can point out a correction or ask
a question which we can address without publishing the comment. Of course, you
can always make a “praise” or a “consider this” comment
for publication. Any ideas for additional stories would be most appreciated.
Let us know what you would like to hear. http://blog.lib.uiowa.edu/preservation/ Feel free to use our blog for the classroom, training, and
outreach. All we ask is that you credit our blog! Best, Nancy Nancy E. Kraft http://blog.lib.uiowa.edu/preservation/ |
