Register to Attend the Collection Assessment for Preservation Purposes

The CARLI Preservation Committee is pleased to present a webinar on “Collection Assessment for Preservation Purposes.”  This webinar will be held on Tuesday, October 8, 2013 from 1:30 – 2:25 pm.
 
Different assessment models will be shared that are appropriate for libraries with various levels of expertise and available resources.  The goal of the program is to provide information that libraries might use to assess their own collection in preparation for preservation projects and/or grant applications to fund those projects.
 
Two panelists will share their information live: Cason Snow will speak on an in-house process used by Northern Illinois University; Ross Griffiths, Director of Heritage and Legacy Collections at Illinois State University, will introduce an assessment method used at his library.  One presenter, due to a scheduling conflict, will be unable to give her presentation “live”.  Lorraine Olley, Library Director at the University of Saint Mary of the Lake, will record her presentation. It will describe a self-assessment project based on an update of the ARL Preservation Self-Study model. 
 
All presentations will be made available on the CARLI website.
 
There will be time at the end of the live webinar for questions from attendees.
 
Please register for this webinar by October 4, 2013.
