************************************************************************

The "Protecting Library & Archive Collections" workshops are presented 
in a 2-part sequence by the Western States & Territories Preservation 
Assistance Service (WESTPAS) to produce the following outcomes for 
disaster preparedness activities:

    * Complete a disaster plan by the end of Part 2.
    * Learn how to train staff to implement your plan effectively.
    * Set pre- and post-disaster action priorities for your collections.
    * Learn how to use practical decision-making skills during an
      emergency.
    * Experience salvage procedures for books, documents, and non-print
      media.

 

The workshop days are scheduled five weeks apart. Participants will 
prepare short assignments prior to the first session; between sessions, 
they will undertake additional assignments resulting in a completed 
disaster plan at the end of Part 2. Upon completion, the institution 
will be invited to join an informal network of WESTPAS trained personnel 
to provide mutual aid in the event of emergencies involving collections 
in the region.

 

*Who should attend*:    Administrators and staff responsible for 
emergency preparedness, response and decision-making, in all types of 
libraries and archives.  By registering for the workshop, the 
institution commits to supporting the attendee(s) to achieve the 
workshop's disaster preparedness goals. When possible, please send two 
attendees from a library or archive so they can work together on the 
disaster preparedness activities.

 

*Cost*:    No charge to the institution.  Funding provided by the 
National Endowment for the Humanities and co-sponsored by the Oregon 
State Library.

 

*Registration*:     Pre-registration required. Register online.
