*MS008: Buy-In: Getting All of the Staff to Support Preservation*
Instructor: Helen Alten
Price: $95
Dates: Jan 24-28, 2011
Location: Online at www.museumclasses.org
*
Description:*
To get anything done in your museum, you often need to get other staff
to support the idea. All too often, preservation is left to one or two
staff members and others believe it doesn't apply to them. For example,
it is hard to successfully implement a pest management plan without full
staff support. Everyone must buy into the notion of preservation. But
how? Readings will introduce some ideas and participants in this course
will brainstorm about what works, what might work - and what doesn't.
*Logistics:*
Participants in *Buy-In* will read literature and participate in two
one-hour chats to discuss how to get other staff to support
preservation. Each student should read course materials and prepare
questions or comments to share with the other students in the chat. This
is a mini-course and takes no more than 10 hours of a student's time.
This is an opportunity to brain-storm with colleagues about what works
and what doesn't work.
