Register Now for “Special Collections on a Shoestring”
02/01/08

Many librarians and staff have small special collections in their libraries with little to no training on their care. With limited budgets and staff, and for fear of doing the wrong thing, many are inclined to do nothing for the care and development of these collections, which can lead to preservation and access challenges. 

The CARLI Preservation Working Group is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the workshop “Special Collections on a Shoestring.” This workshop will give guidance on both curatorial and preservation matters for special collections.  Special collections and rare book curators, archivists, and librarians responsible for the care of small special collections are encouraged to attend.

This free workshop for staff at CARLI member institutions will be offered twice. Registration for the workshop to be held March 19 at Illinois Wesleyan will remain open until March 10. Registration for the March 11 workshop at Northern Illinois University has ended.

For more information or to register for this event, please visit the CARLI website at: http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-serv/mem-train/register/080311shoe/.
