Free Webinar on Using the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf

Announcement from IMLS:

More than 3,000 libraries, museums, and archives now have the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a set of collections care resources designed to assist small institutions in caring for their collections. While rich with information, the Bookshelf can be challenging to navigate. Kristen Laise, who organized the selection of the Bookshelf texts and prepared the User's Guide, will lead participants through means to find the information they need in the Bookshelf and its companion Guide to Online Resources.

Julie Page, a librarian, consultant, and expert on emergency preparedness, Jean-Louis Bigourdan, a contributor to the IPI Media Storage Quick Reference, and MJ Davis, a paper conservator who consults regularly with small museums, libraries, and archives, will answer questions about steps you can take at your own institutions.

The full title of this session is "Getting the Most from Your Bookshelf: Care of Paper, Photographs, and Audiovisual Collections." Thursday, December 9, 2010, 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., PST.
