     emergency situations.  Sign up now for SOLINET's "DISASTER
     PREPAREDNESS AND RECOVERY" workshop on Thursday, March 14, 1996,
     at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

     This workshop will provide the training necessary to plan,
     organize and execute a disaster plan and salvage operation.  In
     addition to in-depth discussion on the disaster planning process,
     there will be demonstrations of salvage techniques including
     air-drying books, separating and drying manuscripts, rinsing
     books, and drying photographic materials.  The course is designed
     for staff members interested in or responsible for organizing and
     implementing institutional or cooperative disaster preparedness
     and response procedures.

     The workshop will run from 9 AM to 4 PM, and will be conducted by
     Christine Wiseman, SOLINET Preservation Field Service Officer.
     Cost for the workshop is $85 for SOLINET members, and $125 for
     non-SOLINET members and FEDLINK.  Those who register three weeks

     within North Carolina qualifies for the member rate.
