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

The "Protecting Library & Archive Collections" workshops are presented 
in a 2-part sequence 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 eleven 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

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